Wolfram Alpha Tool

This tool connects to Wolfram|Alpha's LLM API, which returns responses optimized for language model consumption.

You will need to provide an API key: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api

Usage

This tool has more extensive example usage documented in a Jupyter notebook here

Here's an example usage of the WolframAlphaToolSpec.

python

from llama_index.tools.wolfram_alpha import WolframAlphaToolSpec
from llama_index.agent.core.agent import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI


wolfram_spec = WolframAlphaToolSpec(app_id="API-key")

agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=wolfram_spec.to_tool_list(),
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4.1"),
)

print(await agent.run("how many calories are in 100g of milk chocolate"))
print(await agent.run("what is the mass of the helium in the sun"))

API Parameters

You can pass additional parameters to the Wolfram|Alpha LLM API:

python

wolfram_spec = WolframAlphaToolSpec(
    app_id="API-key",
    api_params={
        "maxchars": 2048,  # Maximum characters in response
        "units": "metric",  # Unit system preference
    },
)

See the Wolfram|Alpha LLM API documentation for available parameters.
