llmToolCall

Dispatches LLM-requested frontend tools by mapping them to BetterForms named actions.

llmToolCall is a frontend AI/tooling action. It receives one or more tool calls requested by an LLM and maps them into BetterForms named actions.

Expected Options

Key	Type	Description
options.functions	array	Array of tool/function calls requested by the LLM
options.toolCallId	string	Correlation ID used to tie the tool execution back to the originating LLM request

Behavior

• BetterForms validates that functions is an array and that toolCallId is present.
• Each requested function is mapped to a BetterForms named action using the function name.
• Function arguments are parsed from JSON when needed.
• BetterForms injects toolCallId into the named-action options.
• The runtime emits processNamedAction for each tool call.
• If dispatch fails, BetterForms sends an error payload to llm/tool-response.

Important Pattern

This action is designed to work with llmToolCallResponse.

Typical flow:

1. llmToolCall receives the tool request.
2. A BetterForms named action runs UI logic.
3. That named action ends with llmToolCallResponse to send the result back.
