Plan for Creating a Multi-Agent System using LangGraph, LangChain, Beautiful Soup, and Tavily


1. Architecture Overview

Our multi-agent system will consist of the following components:

  • Manager Agent: Orchestrates tasks and routes information between agents.
  • Research Agent: Utilizes Tavily to search and gather information.
  • QA Tester Agent: Tests code for issues across various programming languages (Assembly, C, C++, COBOL, etc.).
  • Security Tester Agent: Tests code for vulnerabilities using data from a vector database.
  • Vector Database: Stores vectorized representations of vulnerability and exploit data.
  • Data Scraping Component: Uses Beautiful Soup to scrape publicly available vulnerability data.
  • Libraries and Frameworks:
    • LangChain: For building language model-powered applications.
    • LangGraph: For defining and managing the workflow between agents.

2. Detailed Steps

A. Data Collection and Vectorization

  1. Data Scraping with Beautiful Soup

    • Objective: Collect publicly available vulnerability and exploit data.
    • Action: Use Beautiful Soup to scrape data from approved sources (ensure compliance with terms of service).
    • Note: Avoid scraping any data that violates legal or ethical guidelines.
  2. Data Processing

    • Clean and preprocess the scraped data to ensure consistency and usability.
  3. Vectorization

    • Use language model embeddings (e.g., OpenAI embeddings) to convert textual data into numerical vector representations.
    • Action: Utilize a vectorizer to embed the textual information.
  4. Storage in Vector Database

    • Choose a vector database solution (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, or ChromaDB).
    • Store the vectorized data for fast similarity searches.

B. Agent Implementation

  1. Manager Agent

    • Role: Central coordinator that manages the workflow.
    • Functionality:
      • Receives tasks and delegates them to the appropriate agents.
      • Collects and consolidates responses from agents.
    • Implementation: Use LangGraph to define the interactions and dependencies between agents.
  2. Research Agent

    • Role: Searches for information using Tavily.
    • Functionality:
      • Receives queries and returns relevant information.
    • Implementation:
      • Integrate the Tavily API.
      • Process and format search results.
  3. QA Tester Agent

    • Role: Tests code for issues across different programming languages.
    • Functionality:
      • Receives code snippets.
      • Analyzes code for syntax errors, logical flaws, and best practices.
      • Supports multiple languages (Assembly, C, C++, COBOL, etc.).
    • Implementation:
      • Use language models or static analysis tools to analyze code.
      • Generate a comprehensive report of findings.
  4. Security Tester Agent

    • Role: Assesses code for security vulnerabilities.

Implementation Code

Below is an example of how you might begin implementing this multi-agent system. The code focuses on setting up the agents and their interactions while ensuring compliance with ethical guidelines.

# main.py
import os
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, Tool
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langgraph import LangGraph, Node
from typing import Any, Dict

# Initialize the OpenAI API (ensure that you have set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable)
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)

# Placeholder code for the vector database client
class VectorDatabaseClient:
    def __init__(self):
        # Initialize the vector database connection
        pass

    def query(self, vector):
        # Perform a similarity search and return results
        return []

# Research Agent
class ResearchAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        # Initialize the Tavily client
        pass

    def search(self, query: str) -> str:
        # Use Tavily to search for information
        # Placeholder implementation
        return f"Research results for query: {query}"

# QA Tester Agent
class QATesterAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def test_code(self, code: str, language: str) -> str:

        return f"QA analysis report for {language} code."

# Security Tester Agent
class SecurityTesterAgent:
    def __init__(self, vector_db_client: VectorDatabaseClient):
        self.vector_db_client = vector_db_client

        # Analyze the code for vulnerabilities
        # Placeholder implementation
        # Embed the code and perform a vector database query
        vector = self._embed_code(code)
        similar_items = self.vector_db_client.query(vector)
        return f"Security analysis report with {len(similar_items)} potential issues found."

    def _embed_code(self, code: str):
        # Convert code to vector representation
        # Placeholder implementation
        return [0.0] * 768  # Example vector size

# Manager Agent
class ManagerAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        self.research_agent = ResearchAgent()
        self.qa_tester_agent = QATesterAgent()
        self.security_tester_agent = SecurityTesterAgent(VectorDatabaseClient())

    def handle_task(self, task: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        # Orchestrate the workflow based on task type
        code = task.get('code')
        language = task.get('language')
        query = task.get('query')

        results = {}

        if query:
            # Use the Research Agent
            research_results = self.research_agent.search(query)
            results['research'] = research_results

        if code and language:
            # Use the QA Tester Agent
            qa_results = self.qa_tester_agent.test_code(code, language)
            results['qa'] = qa_results

            # Use the Security Tester Agent
            security_results = self.security_tester_agent.test_security(code)
            results['security'] = security_results

        return results

# Example usage
def main():
    manager_agent = ManagerAgent()

    # Example task
    task = {
        'code': 'int main() { return 0; }',
        'language': 'C',
        'query': 'Best practices for C programming'
    }

    results = manager_agent.handle_task(task)

    # Output the results
    for key, value in results.items():
        print(f"--- {key.upper()} RESULTS ---")
        print(value)
        print()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Explanation of the Code:

  • VectorDatabaseClient: A placeholder class for the vector database client.
  • ResearchAgent: Simulates searching for information using Tavily.
  • QATesterAgent: Simulates testing code for issues in a specified programming language.
  • SecurityTesterAgent: Simulates analyzing code for security vulnerabilities using a vector database.
