SWAIG.functions

An array of JSON objects to define functions that can be executed during the interaction with the AI.

Name	Type	Default	Description
functionsOptional	object[]	-	An array of JSON objects that accept the functions Parameters.

functions Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
description Required	string	-	A description of the context and purpose of the function, to explain to the agent when to use it.
function Required	string	-	A unique name for the function. For example, "get_weather".
active Optional	boolean	true	Whether the function is active.
data_mapOptional	object	-	An object containing properties to process or validate the input, perform actions based on the input, or connect to external APIs or services in a serverless fashion.
parameters Optional	object	-	A JSON object that defines the expected user input parameters and their validation rules for the function.
fillers Optional	object	-	A JSON object defining the fillers that should be played when calling a swaig function. This helps the AI break silence between responses. The filler is played asynchronously during the function call.
meta_data Optional	object	-	A powerful and flexible environmental variable which can accept arbitrary data that is set initially in the SWML script or from the SWML set_meta_data action. This data can be referenced locally to the function. All contained information can be accessed and expanded within the prompt - for example, by using a template string.
meta_data_token Optional	string	Set by SignalWire	Scoping token for meta_data. If not supplied, metadata will be scoped to function's web_hook_url.
wait_file Optional	string	-	A file to play while the function is running. wait_file_loops can specify the amount of times that files should continously play.
wait_file_loops Optional	string | integer	-	The amount of times that wait_file should continuously play/loop.
web_hook_url Optional	string	-	Function-specific URL to send status callbacks and reports to. Takes precedence over a default setting. Authentication can also be set in the url in the format of username:password@url. See Callback Parameters for details on the request body.
purpose	string	-	Deprecated. Use description instead.
argument	object	-	Deprecated. Use parameters instead.
