PerplexityAgent

What it is​

A thin IntentAgent wrapper that configures a “Perplexity” research/search agent, wiring Perplexity search tools and intent routing to those tools.

Public API​

  • create_agent(agent_shared_state: Optional[AgentSharedState] = None, agent_configuration: Optional[AgentConfiguration] = None) -> IntentAgent

    • Builds and returns a configured PerplexityAgent instance:
      • Uses a GPT-4.1 chat model (naas_abi_marketplace.ai.chatgpt.models.gpt_4_1).
      • Registers Perplexity tools via PerplexityIntegration.as_tools(...).
      • Defines Intent mappings that route common “search …” requests to specific tools.
      • Applies defaults for AgentConfiguration (system prompt) and AgentSharedState (thread id "0").

  • class PerplexityAgent(IntentAgent)

    • No additional behavior beyond IntentAgent (empty subclass).

Configuration/Dependencies​

  • Requires Perplexity API key from:
    • naas_abi_marketplace.ai.perplexity.ABIModule.get_instance().configuration.perplexity_api_key
  • Uses Perplexity integration tooling:
    • PerplexityIntegrationConfiguration
    • as_tools(...) to create tools (e.g., perplexity_quick_search, perplexity_search, perplexity_advanced_search)
  • Uses core agent framework types:
    • AgentConfiguration, AgentSharedState, Intent, IntentAgent, IntentType from naas_abi_core.services.agent.IntentAgent

Usage​

from naas_abi_marketplace.ai.perplexity.agents.PerplexityAgent import create_agent

agent = create_agent()
# Use `agent` according to the IntentAgent interface in naas_abi_core.

Caveats​

  • PerplexityAgent itself adds no methods; all behavior is inherited from IntentAgent.
  • Agent-to-agent calling is explicitly disabled here (agents=[]), with a note indicating it’s not available for Perplexity in LangChain.
  • Correct operation depends on the Perplexity API key being present in the module configuration.
