AWS Lambda

What is the AWS Lambda tool?

The AWS Lambda tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to run serverless functions via aws lambda. 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 tool requires a AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variable. Get your API key at console.aws.amazon.com.

How to use AWS Lambda in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable AWS Lambda

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "AWS Lambda" from the cloud category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use AWS Lambda when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for AWS Lambda.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use AWS Lambda:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.aws_lambda import AWSLambdaTools

agent = Agent(
    name="AWS Lambda Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[AWSLambdaTools()],
    instructions=["Use the aws lambda tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a aws-lambda task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
