Tool idea: 40+ external APIs as PraisonAI tools (web scraping, code exec, crypto)

[Robocular]

Idea

PraisonAI agents could benefit from a set of ready-made external tools. I maintain an API gateway with 40+ services designed for AI agents — web scraping, screenshots, code execution, crypto data, vector memory, and more.

Since PraisonAI supports custom tools via the @tool decorator, integration is straightforward:

Example

from praisonaiagents import Agent, Task, PraisonAIAgents
from praisonaiagents import tool
import requests

GATEWAY = "https://agent-gateway-kappa.vercel.app"

@tool("Scrape a webpage and return markdown content")
def scrape_url(url: str) -> str:
    r = requests.post(f"{GATEWAY}/api/scraper/scrape", json={"url": url, "format": "markdown"})
    return r.json().get("content", "")[:3000]

@tool("Execute Python code in a sandbox")
def run_code(code: str) -> str:
    r = requests.post(f"{GATEWAY}/api/code/run", json={"code": code, "language": "python"})
    data = r.json()
    return data.get("stdout", "") + data.get("stderr", "")

@tool("Search the web")
def web_search(query: str) -> str:
    r = requests.get(f"{GATEWAY}/api/search/query", params={"q": query})
    results = r.json().get("results", [])
    return "\n".join(f"- {item[title]}: {item[url]}" for item in results[:5])

@tool("Get real-time crypto price")
def crypto_price(symbol: str) -> str:
    r = requests.get(f"{GATEWAY}/api/crypto/price/{symbol}")
    return str(r.json())

# Research agent with web + code capabilities
researcher = Agent(
    name="Researcher",
    role="Research Analyst",
    goal="Research topics using web scraping and data analysis",
    tools=[scrape_url, run_code, web_search, crypto_price]
)

task = Task(
    description="Research the current state of DeFi on Solana. Scrape top protocols, analyze TVL data.",
    agent=researcher
)

agents = PraisonAIAgents(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task])
agents.start()

Would a pre-built tool pack for PraisonAI be useful? Happy to create one if there is interest.
