nlweb-tools-framework skillA
nlweb-tools-framework is agent-read markdown (skill) from orcaqubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins: Design and implement NLWeb tools — the per-Schema.org-type handlers that turn a query into a specialized response (search, item_details, compare_items, ensemble, recipe_substitution, accompaniment, conversation_search, etc.). Covers `tools.xml`, the ToolSelector router, builtin handlers in `methods/`, writing a custom tool with a `<returnStruc>` contract, and disabling tool selection for raw retrieval. Use when extending NLWeb beyond the default query → results flow..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# NLWeb Tools Framework > **Config layout changed upstream.** NLWeb replaced the single `site_types.xml` with two files in `config/`: > **`sites.xml`** (site name → `itemType` list + description) and **`tools.xml`** (per-site / per-type tool > definitions, prompts and examples, scoped by `<Site id="…">` / `<Item>` blocks). Older guidance — including any > `site_type` / `extends` inheritance syntax — describes the retired file. **Fetch `config/sites.xml` and > `config/tools.xml` from the live repo before editing anything.** ## Before writing code **Fetch live docs**: 1. Fetch https://github.com/nlweb-ai/NLWeb/blob/main/docs/tools.md for the canonical tools framework reference. 2. Fetch https://github.com/nlweb-ai/NLWeb/blob/main/config/sites.xml for the **per-type tool inheritance tree**. 3. Read `AskAgent/python/core/router.py::ToolSelector` for how routing actually picks a tool. 4. Read existing handlers in `AskAgent/python/methods/`: `generate_answer.py`, `item_details.py`, `compare_items.py`, `ensemble_tool.py`, `recipe_substitution.py`, `accompaniment.py`. …
