About reins

Reins A lightweight agent harness you bolt onto your app so an LLM can operate it — safely and cheaply. Point Reins at functions you already have — or your ORM models — and hand it a goal in plain language. It works out which of your operations to call and in what order, runs them through your own code (never raw SQL by default), and returns the result, with near-zero token overhead and safe-by-default writes. There is no graph to draw: you expose your app, and the agent operates it. The wedge: Reins gives the model your verbs, not your tables. Intent-named functions like carry the meaning that raw schemas and OpenAPI specs strip away — which is exactly where text-to-SQL and auto-generated tool layers lose their reliability. Example python from reins import Agent, capability @capability def findorders(status: str) - list[dict]: """Find orders by their current status.""" return store.orders(status=status) # your existing code @capability def refundorder(orderid: int) - dict: """Refund a customer's order by its public order number.""" return payments.refund(orderid) # your existing code agent = Agent(capabilities=[findorders, refundorder])
