Sydney Runkle 645b077c30 perf(core): cache _format_tool_to_openai_function per tool instance
Stash the OpenAI function description dict on the BaseTool instance under
`tool.__dict__["_openai_function_dict"]`. BaseTool.__setattr__ already pops
`tool_call_schema` and `args` when `args_schema`, `description`, or `name`
change; extend the invalidation set to include the new key so the cache
matches the schema caching lifecycle.

Previously, every call to `convert_to_openai_tool(tool)` re-ran
`schema.model_json_schema()` on the cached tool_call_schema pydantic model,
rebuilding the full JSON-schema tree on every model invocation. Summarization
middleware's `count_tokens_approximately` (called twice per model call) plus
the prompt-caching middleware's `bind_tools` meant three fresh schema
generations per model call × 15-ish tools × 500 model calls in a 100-turn
agent run — tens of seconds of pydantic work that's identical every time.

With this cache the first call pays the schema-gen cost once per tool; all
subsequent calls are a dict lookup.

View all LangChain integrations packages

This repository is structured as a monorepo, with various packages located in this libs/ directory. Packages to note in this directory include:

core/             # Core primitives and abstractions for langchain
langchain/        # langchain-classic
langchain_v1/     # langchain
partners/         # Certain third-party providers integrations (see below)
standard-tests/   # Standardized tests for integrations
text-splitters/   # Text splitter utilities

(Each package contains its own README.md file with specific details about that package.)

Integrations (partners/)

The partners/ directory contains a small subset of third-party provider integrations that are maintained directly by the LangChain team. These include, but are not limited to:

Most integrations have been moved to their own repositories for improved versioning, dependency management, collaboration, and testing. This includes packages from popular providers such as Google and AWS. Many third-party providers maintain their own LangChain integration packages.
