How toPrompt Tools

Create a code-based Prompt Tool

Code-based Prompt Tools allow you to create custom functions directly within the editor. This guide will show you how to create and test these tools.

Creating a code-based tool

Go to the left navigation bar and click on the "Prompts Tools" tab.

On the Prompt Tools page, click the + button.

Select "Code" as the tool type and click "Create".

Write your custom function in JavaScript in the code editor.

Code editor interface

The interface provides:

  • A code editor for writing your function
  • An input panel on the right for testing
  • A console at the bottom to view outputs

Example: Travel price calculator

Here's an example of a prompt tool that calculates travel fares between cities:

const pricesMap = {
	London_Barcelona: 3423,
	Barcelona_London: 3500,
	London_Chicago: 3021,
	Chicago_London: 3670,
	London_Madrid: 6375,
	Madrid_London: 6590,
	London_Paris: 5621,
	Paris_London: 5560,
	Barcelona_Chicago: 3000,
	Chicago_Barcelona: 3890,
	Barcelona_Madrid: 4000,
	Madrid_Barcelona: 4321,
	Barcelona_Paris: 2034,
	Paris_Barcelona: 2041,
	Chicago_Madrid: 6987,
	Madrid_Chicago: 6456,
	Chicago_Paris: 3970,
	Paris_Chicago: 3256,
	Madrid_Paris: 4903,
	Paris_Madrid: 4678,
};
 
function Travel_Prices(st1, st2) {
	const key1 = `${st1}_${st2}`;
	const key2 = `${st2}_${st1}`;
 
	if (pricesMap[key1] !== undefined) {
		return pricesMap[key1];
	} else if (pricesMap[key2] !== undefined) {
		return pricesMap[key2];
	} else {
		return "Price not found for the given stations";
	}
}
 
function Total_Travel_Price(cities) {
	if (cities.length < 2) {
		return "At least two cities are required to calculate travel price";
	}
 
	let total_price = 0;
 
	for (let i = 0; i < cities.length - 1; i++) {
		const price = Travel_Prices(cities[i], cities[i + 1]);
		if (typeof price === "string") {
			return price; // Return the error message if price not found
		}
		total_price += price;
	}
 
	return total_price;
}
