Introduction
This tutorial walks you through creating an Agent using LangChain and Model APIs.Setup
pip install -qU langchain-openai langchain-community langchain wikipedia
import getpass
import os
if not os.environ.get("API_KEY"):
os.environ["API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your Personal API key: ")
Instantiation
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
llm = ChatOpenAI(
model="zai-org/GLM-5.2",
base_url="https://api.friendli.ai/serverless/v1",
api_key=os.environ["API_KEY"],
)
Create Agent with LangChain
Step 1. Create Tool
from langchain_community.tools import WikipediaQueryRun
from langchain_community.utilities import WikipediaAPIWrapper
api_wrapper = WikipediaAPIWrapper(top_k_results=1, doc_content_chars_max=100)
wiki = WikipediaQueryRun(api_wrapper=api_wrapper)
tools = [wiki]
Step 2. Create Prompt
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholder
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[
("system", "You are a helpful assistant"),
MessagesPlaceholder("chat_history"),
("user", "{input}"),
("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
]
)
prompt.messages
Step 3. Create Agent
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents import create_tool_calling_agent
agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, verbose=True)
Step 4. Run the Agent
chat_history = []
while True:
user_input = input("Enter your message: ")
result = agent_executor.invoke(
{"input": user_input, "chat_history": chat_history},
)
chat_history.append({"role": "user", "content": user_input})
chat_history.append({"role": "assistant", "content": result["output"]})
final result

Invoking: `wikipedia` with `{'query': 'Linux kernel'}`
responded: The Linux kernel is the core component of the Linux operating system. It acts as a bridge between the computer hardware and the user space applications. The kernel manages the system's hardware resources, such as memory, CPU, and I/O devices. It provides a set of interfaces and APIs that allow user space applications to interact with the hardware.
