At 22\\u00b0C with 55% humidity, this represents ideal autumn weather. The temperature is comfortable for both indoor and outdoor activities without requiring heavy clothing or cooling measures.\\n\\n### Wind Assessment\\nThe wind speed of 15 km/h is classified as a light breeze (Force 3 on the Beaufort scale). This provides pleasant air circulation without being disruptive to outdoor activities.\\n\\n### Sky Conditions Impact\\nPartly cloudy conditions mean there will be periods of sunshine interspersed with cloud cover. This provides natural temperature regulation and makes for pleasant lighting conditions throughout the day.\\n\\n### Activity Recommendations\\n- **Excellent** for: Walking, sightseeing, outdoor dining, sports activities\\n- **Good** for: Photography (interesting cloud formations)\\n- **Suitable** for: All general outdoor activities\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Data Reliability\\n\\u2713 Multiple measurements taken for accuracy \\n\\u2713 Consistent readings across all validation attempts \\n\\u2713 Data timestamp: 2025-10-09T11:39:28.379157\\n\\nThis report provides a comprehensive overview of current weather conditions in Madrid, validated through multiple measurements to ensure accuracy.\"\n", + " }\n", + " ],\n", + " \"stop_reason\": \"end_turn\",\n", + " \"stop_sequence\": null,\n", + " \"usage\": {\n", + " \"input_tokens\": 2404,\n", + " \"cache_creation_input_tokens\": 0,\n", + " \"cache_read_input_tokens\": 0,\n", + " \"output_tokens\": 452\n", + " },\n", + " \"context_management\": {\n", + " \"applied_edits\": [\n", + " {\n", + " \"type\": \"clear_tool_uses_20250919\",\n", + " \"cleared_input_tokens\": 62,\n", + " \"cleared_tool_uses\": 2\n", + " }\n", + " ]\n", + " }\n", + "}\n", + "\n", + "Conversation completed - no more tool uses.\n" + ] + } + ], + "source": [ + "def handle_tool_calls(tool_uses):\n", + " \"\"\"\n", + " Handle tool calls and return tool results.\n", + " \"\"\"\n", + " tool_results = []\n", + " \n", + " for tool_use in tool_uses:\n", + " tool_name = tool_use['name']\n", + " tool_input = tool_use['input']\n", + " tool_use_id = tool_use['id']\n", + " \n", + " if tool_name == 'get_weather':\n", + " # Call our weather function\n", + " result = get_weather(tool_input['location'])\n", + " tool_results.append({\n", + " \"type\": \"tool_result\",\n", + " \"tool_use_id\": tool_use_id,\n", + " \"content\": result\n", + " })\n", + " elif tool_name == 'memory':\n", + " # Handle memory tool (placeholder - would need actual memory implementation)\n", + " result = json.dumps({\"status\": \"Memory accessed\", \"data\": \"No previous weather data found\"})\n", + " tool_results.append({\n", + " \"type\": \"tool_result\",\n", + " \"tool_use_id\": tool_use_id,\n", + " \"content\": result\n", + " })\n", + " else:\n", + " # Unknown tool\n", + " tool_results.append({\n", + " \"type\": \"tool_result\",\n", + " \"tool_use_id\": tool_use_id,\n", + " \"content\": f\"Error: Unknown tool {tool_name}\",\n", + " \"is_error\": True\n", + " })\n", + " \n", + " return tool_results\n", + "\n", + "def run_conversation_with_tools():\n", + " \"\"\"\n", + " Run a complete conversation with automatic tool clearing.\n", + " \"\"\"\n", + " messages = [\n", + " {\n", + " \"role\": \"user\",\n", + " \"content\": \"Create a comprehensive report about the current weather in Madrid.
