# Agents
<Tip warning={true}>
Transformers Agents is an experimental API which is subject to change at any time. Results returned by the agents
can vary as the APIs or underlying models are prone to change.
</Tip>
To learn more about agents and tools make sure to read the [introductory guide](../index). This page
contains the API docs for the underlying classes.
## Agents
Our agents inherit from [`ReactAgent`], which means they can act in multiple steps, each step consisting of one thought, then one tool call and execution. Read more in [this conceptual guide](../conceptual_guides/react).
We provide two types of agents, based on the main [`Agent`] class.
- [`JsonAgent`] writes its tool calls in JSON.
- [`CodeAgent`] writes its tool calls in Python code.

## Engines
You're free to create and use your own engines to be usable by the Agents framework.
These engines have the following specification:
1. Follow the [messages format](../chat_templating.md) for its input (`List[Dict[str, str]]`) and return a string.
2. Stop generating outputs *before* the sequences passed in the argument `stop_sequences`
### TransformersEngine
For convenience, we have added a `TransformersEngine` that implements the points above, taking a pre-initialized `Pipeline` as input.
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline, TransformersEngine
model_name = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M-Instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
engine = TransformersEngine(pipe)
engine([{"role": "user", "content": "Ok!"}], stop_sequences=["great"])
```

### HfApiEngine
The `HfApiEngine` is an engine that wraps an [HF Inference API](https://huggingface.co/docs/api-inference/index) client for the execution of the LLM.
```python
from transformers import HfApiEngine
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm doing great. How can I help you today?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "No need to help, take it easy."},
]
HfApiEngine()(messages, stop_sequences=["conversation"])
```
```text
"That's very kind of you to say! It's always nice to have a relaxed "
```
