FAQPage Schema
How do I build AI agents with structured output and tool calling in Python?

You can build AI agents with structured output and tool calling by using the Pydantic AI framework to construct agents with dependency injection, lifecycle hooks, and declarative YAML specs. It enables production-ready agent behavior with configurable tools.

How do I test LLM-powered applications deterministically?

To test LLM-powered applications deterministically, use the framework's TestModel feature. This allows you to verify agent runs and tool calls without hitting live model endpoints, ensuring consistent and reproducible testing outcomes for your AI agents.

Can I use Pydantic AI with Anthropic and Google model providers?

Yes, Pydantic AI supports Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI model providers. It integrates these through a unified provider-prefixed model string format, allowing you to configure and switch between different LLM providers within your Python application.

What is the best way to trace agent runs and tool calls in Python?

The best way to trace agent runs and tool calls is by using Logfire for observability. It provides tracing capabilities for your Pydantic AI agents, giving you visibility into execution flows and tool interactions during multi-agent coordination.

Do I need Python 3.10 or higher to use Pydantic AI for agent construction?

Yes, you need Python 3.10 or higher to use Pydantic AI for agent construction. This version requirement supports the framework's advanced features like dependency injection, progressive disclosure, and streaming capabilities for production-grade AI agents.
