## Connery Action Tool

Using this tool, you can integrate individual Connery Action into your LangChain agent.

If you want to use more than one Connery Action in your agent, check out the [Connery Toolkit](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/toolkits/connery/) documentation.

## What is Connery?[​](#what-is-connery "Direct link to What is Connery?")

Connery is an open-source plugin infrastructure for AI.

With Connery, you can easily create a custom plugin with a set of actions and seamlessly integrate them into your LangChain agent. Connery will take care of critical aspects such as runtime, authorization, secret management, access management, audit logs, and other vital features.

Furthermore, Connery, supported by our community, provides a diverse collection of ready-to-use open-source plugins for added convenience.

## Prerequisites[​](#prerequisites "Direct link to Prerequisites")

To use Connery Actions in your LangChain agent, you need to do some preparation:

1.  Set up the Connery runner using the [Quickstart](https://docs.connery.io/docs/runner/quick-start/) guide.
2.  Install all the plugins with the actions you want to use in your agent.
3.  Set environment variables `CONNERY_RUNNER_URL` and `CONNERY_RUNNER_API_KEY` so the toolkit can communicate with the Connery Runner.

In the example below, we fetch action by its ID from the Connery Runner and then call it with the specified parameters.

Here, we use the ID of the **Send email** action from the [Gmail](https://github.com/connery-io/gmail) plugin.

```
import osfrom langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agentfrom langchain_community.tools.connery import ConneryServicefrom langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI# Specify your Connery Runner credentials.os.environ["CONNERY_RUNNER_URL"] = ""os.environ["CONNERY_RUNNER_API_KEY"] = ""# Specify OpenAI API key.os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = ""# Specify your email address to receive the emails from examples below.recepient_email = "test@example.com"# Get the SendEmail action from the Connery Runner by ID.connery_service = ConneryService()send_email_action = connery_service.get_action("CABC80BB79C15067CA983495324AE709")
```

Run the action manually.

```
manual_run_result = send_email_action.run(    {        "recipient": recepient_email,        "subject": "Test email",        "body": "This is a test email sent from Connery.",    })print(manual_run_result)
```

Run the action using the OpenAI Functions agent.

You can see a LangSmith trace of this example [here](https://smith.langchain.com/public/a37d216f-c121-46da-a428-0e09dc19b1dc/r).

```
llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)agent = initialize_agent(    [send_email_action], llm, AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS, verbose=True)agent_run_result = agent.run(    f"Send an email to the {recepient_email} and say that I will be late for the meeting.")print(agent_run_result)
```

```

NOTE: Connery Action is a structured tool, so you can only use it in the agents supporting structured tools.
