Tool Use 使用指南

概述

Tool Use功能允许智能体在训练过程中调用外部工具来增强推理能力。 ROLL中环境接口使用GEM环境定义，Tool Use使用GEM提供的Tool Env Wrapper。Tool基于gem.tools.base_tool.BaseTool接口扩展。

核心组件

BaseTool接口(gem.tools.base_tool.BaseTool): 所有tool必须继承的基础接口
Tool Env Wrapper(roll.pipeline.agentic.tools.tool_env_wrapper.ToolEnvWrapper): 为环境添加tool调用能力的包装器
Tool注册机制 (roll/pipeline/agentic/tools/__init__.py): 统一管理和注册可用tool

默认支持的Tool类型

当前ROLL默认支持以下三种tool：

PythonCodeTool

功能：执行Python代码
用途：数学计算、数据处理、算法实现等
实现位于：roll/pipeline/agentic/tools/python_code_tool.py

class PythonCodeTool(GEMPythonCodeTool):

    def __init__(
        self,
        timeout: int = 5,
        sandbox_type: str = "none",
        keep_error_last_line: bool = False,
        tool_instruction=None,
        patterns=None,
    ):
        pass

SearchTool

功能：搜索外部信息
用途：问答系统、知识检索、事实验证等
实现位于: gem.tools.search_tool.SearchTool

class SearchTool(BaseTool):
    def __init__(self, num_workers=1, search_url=None, topk=3, timeout=TIMEOUT):
        pass

McpTool

功能：模型上下文协议工具
用途：与外部模型或服务交互
实现位于：roll.pipeline.agentic.tools.mcp_tool.MCPTool

class MCPTool(BaseTool):
    def __init__(self, 
                num_workers=1, 
                server_url: Optional[str] = None, 
                client: Optional[MCPClient] = None,
                tool_names_subset: Optional[List[str]] = None,
                custom_prompt: Optional[str] = None):
        pass

Tool注册和自定义扩展

Tool的注册位于roll/pipeline/agentic/tools/__init__.py，用户可以根据需要自定义扩展tool实现，并使用register_tools注册。

自定义Tool示例

from gem.tools.base_tool import BaseTool

class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
    """自定义tool示例"""
    
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        
    def execute(self, input_data):
        # 实现tool的具体逻辑
        return {"result": "custom tool output"}

Tool Wrapper配置和使用

ROLL中tool wrapper的代码位于roll/pipeline/agentic/env_manager/traj_env_manager.py:73，用户自定义env_manager时，加上wrapper即可为env增加tool call能力。

YAML配置示例

通过yaml文件配置env使用的tool_wrapper，示例如下（examples/config/traj_envs_gem_math.yaml）：

dapo_17k_with_python_code:
  env_type: "roll_math"
  max_steps: ${max_actions_per_traj}
  max_tokens_per_step: ${max_tokens_per_step}
  env_manager_cls: ${env_manager_cls}
  agent_system_template: ${math_agent_system_template}
  agent_template: ${math_agent_template}
  env_config:
    max_steps: ${max_actions_per_traj}
    dataset_name: open-r1/DAPO-Math-17k-Processed
    question_key: prompt
    answer_key: solution
  tool_wrapper:
    wrapper_args:
      tool_reward: 0
      tool_success_reward: 0
      max_tool_uses: 1
    tool_configs:
      - tool_id: python_code
        tool_args:
          timeout: 5
          sandbox_type: none
          keep_error_last_line: false

配置参数说明

wrapper_args: wrapper通用参数
- tool_reward: tool调用奖励值
- tool_success_reward: tool成功执行奖励值
- max_tool_uses: 最大tool调用次数
tool_configs: 具体tool配置列表
- tool_id: tool标识符
- tool_args: tool特定参数

You now have the ability to selectively write executable Python code to enhance your reasoning process. The Python code will be executed by an external sandbox, and the output (after \"Code execution result: \") is returned to aid your reasoning and help you arrive at the final answer. The Python code should be complete scripts, including necessary imports, wrapped within <python>...</python> tags or using ```python...``` code block. Return your final answer within \\boxed{}.\nEnsure that your response includes the format of '\\boxed{answer}', e.g. \\boxed{A}.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n",
"response": "To find the first year after 2010 for which the sum of the digits is 10, we can iterate through the years starting from 2011 and calculate the sum of the digits for each year.

QA + SearchTool

训练配置

hoptpotqa: examples/qwen3_agentic_gem/gem_math_hotpotqa.yaml
hoptpotqa + search: examples/qwen3_agentic_gem/gem_math_hotpotqa_search.yaml

搜索引擎启动方式

在使用SearchTool之前，需要先启动本地搜索引擎，这里使用 search-R1 中提供的 local dense retriever作为搜索引擎。详细说明在 search-R1 documents。

ROLL中loca dense retriever位于 examples/qwen3_agentic_gem/start_retrieval_server.sh。

数据准备

首先需要下载搜索所需的语料库和索引文件：

save_path=/the/path/to/save
huggingface-cli download PeterJinGo/wiki-18-corpus --repo-type dataset --local-dir $save_path
huggingface-cli download PeterJinGo/wiki-18-e5-index-HNSW64 --repo-type dataset --local-dir $save_path

gzip -d $save_path/wiki-18.jsonl.gz
cat $save_path/part_* > $save_path/e5_HNSW64.index

启动搜索引擎

# 在运行脚本前，需要修改 start_retrieval_server.sh 中的 SAVE_PATH_RETRIEVER 
# 变量为您下载索引和语料库的目录路径
export SEARCH_URL="http://localhost:8000/retrieve"

bash examples/qwen3_agentic_gem/start_retrieval_server.sh

环境变量配置

确保设置以下环境变量：

SEARCH_URL: 搜索引擎服务地址，默认为 http://localhost:8000/retrieve
SAVE_PATH_RETRIEVER: 语料库和索引文件的本地存储路径

Excavations in Ashkelon unearthed the largest known dog cemetery in the ancient world containing 700 dog skeletons, all of which were anatomically similar to the Canaan dog of modern times. Archaeologists hypothesize that the dogs were revered as sacred animals. According to tradition, the Canaan dog\nDoc 2(Title: \"Canaan Dog\") dissecans (OCD). The Canaan dog was first recognized by the Israel Kennel Club in 1953 and by the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) in 1966. The first accepted standard was written by Dr. Menzel. In 1986, the first Canaan dogs were brought to Finland from Sha'ar Hagai Kennel, in Israel. The Canaan Dog is today recognized by all the world's kennel clubs and is being bred in many countries. There are breed clubs in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Finland, Germany, Israel and France. The first Canaan dog came to Canada May 16, 1970.
