# `ComposioToolSet`
## Description
Composio is an integration platform that allows you to connect your AI agents to 250+ tools. Key features include:
- **Enterprise-Grade Authentication**: Built-in support for OAuth, API Keys, JWT with automatic token refresh
- **Full Observability**: Detailed tool usage logs, execution timestamps, and more
## Installation
To incorporate Composio tools into your project, follow the instructions below:
```shell
pip install composio composio-crewai
pip install crewai
```
After the installation is complete, set your Composio API key as `COMPOSIO_API_KEY`. Get your Composio API key from [here](https://platform.composio.dev)
## Example
The following example demonstrates how to initialize the tool and execute a github action:
1. Initialize Composio with CrewAI Provider
```python Code
from composio_crewai import ComposioProvider
from composio import Composio
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
composio = Composio(provider=ComposioProvider())
```
2. Create a new Composio Session and retrieve the tools
<CodeGroup>
```python
session = composio.create(
user_id="your-user-id",
toolkits=["gmail", "github"] # optional, default is all toolkits
)
tools = session.tools()
```
Read more about sessions and user management [here](https://docs.composio.dev/docs/configuring-sessions)
</CodeGroup>
3. Authenticating users manually
Composio automatically authenticates the users during the agent chat session. However, you can also authenticate the user manually by calling the `authorize` method.
```python Code
connection_request = session.authorize("github")
print(f"Open this URL to authenticate: {connection_request.redirect_url}")
```
4. Define agent
```python Code
crewai_agent = Agent(
role="GitHub Agent",
goal="You take action on GitHub using GitHub APIs",
backstory="You are AI agent that is responsible for taking actions on GitHub on behalf of users using GitHub APIs",
verbose=True,
tools=tools,
llm= # pass an llm
)
```
5. Execute task
```python Code
task = Task(
description="Star a repo composiohq/composio on GitHub",
agent=crewai_agent,
expected_output="Status of the operation",
)
crew = Crew(agents=[crewai_agent], tasks=[task])
crew.kickoff()
```
