NewsAPIAgent

What it is​

  • An IntentAgent wrapper configured to provide general guidance about NewsAPI (features, search concepts, media monitoring).
  • Ships with no tools for actually calling NewsAPI; it only returns predefined informational intents.

Public API​

  • create_agent(agent_shared_state: Optional[AgentSharedState] = None, agent_configuration: Optional[AgentConfiguration] = None) -> IntentAgent
    • Factory that builds and returns a configured NewsAPIAgent.
    • Sets:
      • name="NewsAPI", description=...
      • system_prompt (guidance-only; explicitly states tools are unavailable)
      • tools=[] (no integrations)
      • two RAW intents (feature info; search/retrieval concepts)
      • shared state and configuration (creates defaults if not provided)
  • class NewsAPIAgent(IntentAgent)
    • Concrete agent type (no additional behavior; pass).

Configuration/Dependencies​

  • Depends on naas_abi_core.services.agent.IntentAgent:
    • IntentAgent, AgentConfiguration, AgentSharedState, Intent, IntentType
  • Uses chat model import:
    • from naas_abi_marketplace.ai.chatgpt.models.gpt_4_1 import model
  • Key module constants:
    • SYSTEM_PROMPT: instructs the agent to provide guidance only and not retrieve content.
    • SUGGESTIONS: empty list.

Usage​

from naas_abi_marketplace.applications.newsapi.agents.NewsAPIAgent import create_agent

agent = create_agent()

# The agent is configured with no tools; it can only provide general guidance via its intents/system prompt.
print(agent.name)
print(agent.description)

Caveats​

  • No NewsAPI tools are configured (tools=[]), so the agent cannot fetch live articles or headlines.
  • The built-in intents are informational (IntentType.RAW) and do not trigger external operations.
