Developer streamlines cross-provider LLM tool-calling with unified library

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered challenges integrating different LLM providers for a tool-calling loop in a healthcare application. Initially, the loop worked seamlessly with OpenAI's SDK, but compliance requirements necessitated a second model from a different provider, Anthropic, to cross-check the results. The developer discovered that Anthropic's API for tool use had a different structure than OpenAI's, requiring a significant rewrite of the loop. However, the `@aviasole/shapecraft` library simplified this by providing a unified interface, allowing the same tool-calling logic to be applied to both OpenAI's GPT-4o mini and Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5, resolving the integration issue with minimal code changes.

    My Tool-Calling Loop Worked Fine, Until Compliance Wanted a Second Model to Check It

    <p>Small ask, on paper. A clinician types something like "any allergy conflicts for this patient's current meds?", and before the model answers it needs to actually go get the medication list and the allergy list rather than guess at what's plausible. Two functions, both of which…
