# HumanintheLoop Middleware Demo
This repository contains a minimal LangChain/LangGraph example that demonstrates how to pause an agent whenever it wants to call a tool and ask the user for approval (`approve` / `reject`).
The pausing logic is handled by **`HumanInTheLoopMiddleware`**, which automatically generates a prompt, receives the users decision, and resumes execution via a `Command(resume={…})`.
> **Why this matters** In many realworld scenarios an LLM should not act autonomously. By inserting a human checkpoint you can keep control over every tool call, ensuring safety, compliance or simply giving the user a chance to correct mistakes.
A minimal LangChain project that demonstrates how to pause an agent before every tool call and let a user approve or reject the action via the terminal.

## Project Overview
The agent is created with **HumanInTheLoopMiddleware**.
When the agent wants to use a tool (e.g., `get_weather`), it pauses, prints a prompt in the terminal, and waits for user input:
| Decision | Effect |
|----------|--------|
| `approve` | Tool call proceeds |
| `reject` | Tool call is skipped; the agent continues reasoning |
| `edit` | (Optional) User can modify the tool arguments before resuming |
The middleware automatically handles the pause/resume logic via `Command(resume={"decisions": [...]})`.

## Prerequisites
- Python3.10+
- A working OpenAI API key (or any LLM provider supported by LangChain)
Set your key in an environment variable:
```bash
# 1️⃣ Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/yourorg/humanintheloop-demo.git
cd humanintheloop-demo
# 2️⃣ Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# 3️⃣ Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
> **Requirements**
> * Python ≥ 3.10
> * `langchain` (>=0.2)
> * `langgraph` (>=0.1)
> * `openai` or any LLM provider you prefer
The `requirements.txt` file contains the exact versions used for this demo.

## 🚀 Running the Demo
## Installation
### 1️⃣ Start the Agent
1. **Clone the repo**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/human-in-loop-demo.git
cd human-in-loop-demo
```
2. **Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended)**
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
```
3. **Install dependencies**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
> `requirements.txt` contains:
> ```
> langchain==0.2.*
> langgraph==0.1.*
> python-dotenv # optional, for .env support
> ```

## Running the Demo
### 1️⃣ `main.py` Interactive Agent
```bash
python main.py
@@ -55,106 +83,55 @@ python main.py
You will see a prompt like:
```
Assistant: What would you like to do?
Agent: What would you like to know?
User: Tell me the weather in London.
Assistant: (Thinking...)
Agent: (pausing) Would you like to call tool 'get_weather' with arguments {'location': 'London'}? [approve/reject/edit]
>
```
When the agent decides to call `get_weather`, it pauses and prints:
Type `approve`, `reject`, or `edit` and press **Enter**.
If you choose `edit`, youll be prompted to modify the JSON arguments.
```
Human-in-the-loop checkpoint:
The assistant wants to execute tool 'get_weather' with arguments {'location': 'London'}.
Please type one of the following decisions: approve / reject
```
### 2️⃣ `tool_example.py` Custom Tool
Type **`approve`** to let the tool run, or **`reject`** to cancel it.
After your decision, the agent continues:
```
Assistant: The weather in London is 18°C and sunny.
```
### 2️⃣ Using a Different Tool
If you want to test another tool (e.g., `get_time`), add it to `tools.py`, import it in `agent.py`, and adjust the middleware configuration accordingly.
The demo includes a simple weather tool (`get_weather`).
You can add more tools by editing `tools/__init__.py` or creating new modules.

## 📚 Example Usage
## Example Interaction
```python
# main.py
from agent import agent
```
$ python main.py
Agent: Hi! How can I help you today?
User: What's the weather in Paris?
def run():
print("Welcome! Type 'exit' to quit.")
while True:
user_input = input("\nUser: ")
if user_input.lower() == "exit":
break
response = agent.invoke({"input": user_input})
print(f"Assistant: {response['output']}")
Agent: (pausing) Would you like to call tool 'get_weather' with arguments {'location': 'Paris'}? [approve/reject/edit]
> approve
Tool get_weather called. Result: "Sunny, 22°C"
if __name__ == "__main__":
run()
Agent: The current weather in Paris is Sunny, 22°C.
User: Thanks!
```
```python
# agent.py
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from langchain.agents.middleware import HumanInTheLoopMiddleware
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver
If you type `reject`, the agent will continue without calling the tool:
from tools import get_weather # <-- your tool(s)
memory = MemorySaver()
agent = create_agent(
model="gpt-4o-mini", # or any LLM you have access to
tools=[get_weather],
system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
middleware=[
HumanInTheLoopMiddleware(
interrupt_on={"get_weather": True},
description_prefix="Please confirm the tool call:",
),
],
checkpointer=memory,
)
```
```python
# tools.py
from langchain.tools import BaseTool
class GetWeather(BaseTool):
name = "get_weather"
description = "Returns current weather for a location."
args_schema = ... # define your schema here
def _run(self, location: str) -> str:
# Dummy implementation replace with real API call
return f"The weather in {location} is 18°C and sunny."
get_weather = GetWeather()
Agent: (pausing) Would you like to call tool 'get_weather' with arguments {'location': 'Paris'}? [approve/reject/edit]
> reject
Agent: I couldn't retrieve the weather. Could you provide more details?
```

## 🔧 Customization Tips
## Project Structure
| Feature | How to change |
|---------|---------------|
| **Allowed decisions** | `interrupt_on={"get_weather": {"allowed_decisions": ["approve", "reject"]}}` |
| **Prompt prefix** | Change `description_prefix` in the middleware. |
| **Tool list** | Add or remove tools in the `tools=[...]` array. |
| **LLM model** | Pass a different model name or a custom LLM instance to `create_agent`. |
