Advanced output handling
For grasping the basic idea of output handlers, check out this introduction: validating agent output.
The purpose of this example is to demonstrate two concepts:
Obtaining structured output from the agent
Validating the output against the prompt that was given to the agent
This should give a good understanding of output handler semantics and prepare you to build your own ones.

from motleycrew.tools.code import PythonREPLTool
from motleycrew.tools.llm_tool import LLMTool
from motleycrew.tools import MotleyTool
In the validating agent output example, we used a simple tool to receive and check the output.
Here we want to have access to the agent input, so we subclass the MotleyTool class and implement its run method. Inside it, we’ll call an LLM critic that will assess the agent’s output.
MotleyTool has the exceptions_to_reflect argument, which allows us to reflect exceptions from the tool back to the agent. This is useful for providing feedback on why the tool failed and how to fix it. By default, it reflects InvalidOutput exceptions, but you can pass other exceptions to it as well, even the Exception class for reflecting any exception.

description="improve the agent output",
prompt=(
"An AI agent was given this prompt: \n{agent_prompt}\n\n"
"Here's the code it generated: \n```\n{code}\n```\n\n"
"And the comment it gave: \n{comment}\n\n"
"The code and the comment must be sensible and easily understandable. "
"Give constructive advice on how to improve them unless they are already perfect. "
"In this case, just return a single \"OK\" without quotes."
)
)
critic_message = critic.invoke({"agent_prompt": agent_prompt, "code": code, "comment": comment}).content
print("Critic response: ", critic_message)
if critic_message.strip().lower().startswith("ok"):
return code, comment
raise InvalidOutput(critic_message) # This will be returned to the agent to make it improve its output
In case the critic is not satisfied, the InvalidOutput exception will be returned to the agent, as if a regular tool was called. If everything is OK, we just return the agent’s output.
The ReActToolCallingMotleyAgent constructor has a max_iterations argument, as well as most other agents. It’s the maximum number of times the agent will be allowed to call tools. If the agent doesn’t provide a valid output after max_iterations, an exception will be raised. To avoid this, you can add an iteration counter to the critic’s state.
The output schema is inferred automatically from the run method signature. You can also specify it directly using the args_schema argument.

Comment:
The bubble sort algorithm works by repeatedly stepping through the list to be sorted, comparing each pair of adjacent items and swapping them if they are in the wrong order. This process is repeated until the list is sorted. The algorithm gets its name because smaller elements 'bubble' to the top of the list. The outer loop runs n times, and the inner loop runs n-i-1 times, where n is the length of the list and i is the current iteration of the outer loop. An optimization is added with a flag to detect if any swapping happened in the inner loop. If no swapping happened, the list is already sorted, and the loop can be terminated early. The time complexity of bubble sort is O(n^2) in the worst and average cases, and O(n) in the best case when the list is already sorted.

Critic response: The code and the comment are well-written and clear. They provide a good explanation of how the bubble sort algorithm works, including the optimization with the swapped flag and the time complexity analysis.

- The test cases could be printed in a more readable format.
