The code execution action gives Onyx’s LLMs the ability to write and execute Python code, unlocking capabilities such as performing complex calculations, running data analysis on uploaded files, and generating or modifying documents.
The code execution action is built-in functionality available to all deployments without any configuration needed.
Code Execution
The LLM determines when to use code execution based on the user’s query — no explicit invocation is needed. It can also be attached to custom Agents, giving the LLM the option to use it as needed.

​
Features

The code execution action runs in a secure, sandboxed Python environment with all dangerous functionality removed (such as network access and filesystem access outside of the sandbox).
  • Libraries: Comes with pre-installed libraries such as numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, and more.
  • File Input: Pass arbitrary file types along with the code to run against them.
  • File Output: Files can be created and provided back to the user.
  • STDIN/STDOUT Capture: All program outputs are captured and displayed to the user.
  • Graph Rendering: The Onyx Chat UI renders returned graphs and other visualizations directly in the conversation.
