Apache Airflow

What is the Apache Airflow tool?

The Apache Airflow tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to manage apache airflow dags and workflows. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This is a free tool — no API key or external account is needed. It works out of the box when you add it to any agent.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Apache Airflow:

agent = Agent(
    name="Apache Airflow Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[AirflowTools()],
    instructions=["Use the apache airflow tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a airflow task")
