概述
在本教程中,我们将使用 LangGraph 构建一个检索代理。 LangChain 提供了内置的代理实现,这些实现使用了 LangGraph 原语。如果需要更深层次的定制,可以直接在 LangGraph 中实现代理。本指南演示了一个检索代理的示例实现。检索代理在您希望 LLM 决定是从向量存储中检索上下文还是直接响应用户时非常有用。 在本教程结束时,我们将完成以下操作:- 获取并预处理将用于检索的文档。
- 为这些文档建立索引以进行语义搜索,并为代理创建一个检索器工具。
- 构建一个代理 RAG 系统,该系统可以决定何时使用检索器工具。

概念
我们将涵盖以下概念:设置
让我们下载所需的包并设置我们的 API 密钥:npm install @langchain/langgraph @langchain/openai @langchain/community @langchain/textsplitters
注册 LangSmith 以快速发现问题并改进您的 LangGraph 项目性能。LangSmith 允许您使用跟踪数据来调试、测试和监控使用 LangGraph 构建的 LLM 应用。
1. 预处理文档
- 获取将在我们的 RAG 系统中使用的文档。我们将使用 Lilian Weng 的优秀博客 中最近的三个页面。我们将首先使用
CheerioWebBaseLoader获取页面内容:
import { CheerioWebBaseLoader } from "@langchain/community/document_loaders/web/cheerio";
const urls = [
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-06-23-agent/",
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-03-15-prompt-engineering/",
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-10-25-adv-attack-llm/",
];
const docs = await Promise.all(
urls.map((url) => new CheerioWebBaseLoader(url).load()),
);
- 将获取的文档分割成更小的块,以便索引到我们的向量存储中:
import { RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter } from "@langchain/textsplitters";
const docsList = docs.flat();
const textSplitter = new RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter({
chunkSize: 500,
chunkOverlap: 50,
});
const docSplits = await textSplitter.splitDocuments(docsList);
2. 创建检索器工具
现在我们有了分割后的文档,可以将它们索引到一个向量存储中,用于语义搜索。- 使用内存向量存储和 OpenAI 嵌入:
import { MemoryVectorStore } from "@langchain/classic/vectorstores/memory";
import { OpenAIEmbeddings } from "@langchain/openai";
const vectorStore = await MemoryVectorStore.fromDocuments(
docSplits,
new OpenAIEmbeddings(),
);
const retriever = vectorStore.asRetriever();
- 使用 LangChain 预构建的
createRetrieverTool创建检索器工具:
import { createRetrieverTool } from "@langchain/classic/tools/retriever";
const tool = createRetrieverTool(
retriever,
{
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
description:
"搜索并返回关于 Lilian Weng 博客中 LLM 代理、提示工程和 LLM 对抗性攻击的信息。",
},
);
const tools = [tool];
3. 生成查询
现在我们将开始为我们的代理 RAG 图构建组件(节点 和 边)。- 构建一个
generateQueryOrRespond节点。它将调用 LLM 根据当前图状态(消息列表)生成响应。给定输入消息,它将决定使用检索器工具进行检索,还是直接响应用户。请注意,我们通过.bindTools使聊天模型能够访问我们之前创建的tools:
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { GraphNode } from "@langchain/langgraph";
const generateQueryOrRespond: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4.1",
temperature: 0,
}).bindTools(tools);
const response = await model.invoke(state.messages);
return {
messages: [response],
};
}
- 在随机输入上尝试:
import { HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const input = { messages: [new HumanMessage("hello!")] };
const result = await generateQueryOrRespond(input);
console.log(result.messages[0]);
AIMessage {
content: "Hello! How can I help you today?",
tool_calls: []
}
- 提出一个需要语义搜索的问题:
const input = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?")
]
};
const result = await generateQueryOrRespond(input);
console.log(result.messages[0]);
AIMessage {
content: "",
tool_calls: [
{
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
args: { query: "types of reward hacking" },
id: "call_...",
type: "tool_call"
}
]
}
4. 评估文档
- 添加一个节点——
gradeDocuments——来确定检索到的文档是否与问题相关。我们将使用一个带有结构化输出的模型,使用 Zod 进行文档评分。我们还将添加一个条件边——checkRelevance——它检查评分结果并返回要前往的节点名称(generate或rewrite):
import * as z from "zod";
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { GraphNode } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { AIMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
`You are a grader assessing relevance of retrieved docs to a user question.
Here are the retrieved docs:
\n ------- \n
{context}
\n ------- \n
Here is the user question: {question}
If the content of the docs are relevant to the users question, score them as relevant.
Give a binary score 'yes' or 'no' score to indicate whether the docs are relevant to the question.
Yes: The docs are relevant to the question.
No: The docs are not relevant to the question.`,
);
const gradeDocumentsSchema = z.object({
binaryScore: z.string().describe("Relevance score 'yes' or 'no'"),
})
const gradeDocuments: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4.1",
temperature: 0,
}).withStructuredOutput(gradeDocumentsSchema);
const score = await prompt.pipe(model).invoke({
question: state.messages.at(0)?.content,
context: state.messages.at(-1)?.content,
});
if (score.binaryScore === "yes") {
return "generate";
}
return "rewrite";
}
- 在工具响应中使用不相关的文档运行此节点:
import { ToolMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const input = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?"),
new AIMessage({
tool_calls: [
{
type: "tool_call",
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
args: { query: "types of reward hacking" },
id: "1",
}
]
}),
new ToolMessage({
content: "meow",
tool_call_id: "1",
})
]
}
const result = await gradeDocuments(input);
- 确认相关文档被正确分类:
const input = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?"),
new AIMessage({
tool_calls: [
{
type: "tool_call",
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
args: { query: "types of reward hacking" },
id: "1",
}
]
}),
new ToolMessage({
content: "reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering",
tool_call_id: "1",
})
]
}
const result = await gradeDocuments(input);
5. 重写问题
- 构建
rewrite节点。检索器工具可能返回不相关的文档,这表明需要改进原始用户问题。为此,我们将调用rewrite节点:
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { GraphNode } from "@langchain/langgraph";
const rewritePrompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
`Look at the input and try to reason about the underlying semantic intent / meaning. \n
Here is the initial question:
\n ------- \n
{question}
\n ------- \n
Formulate an improved question:`,
);
const rewrite: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const question = state.messages.at(0)?.content;
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4.1",
temperature: 0,
});
const response = await rewritePrompt.pipe(model).invoke({ question });
return {
messages: [response],
};
}
- 尝试一下:
import { HumanMessage, AIMessage, ToolMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const input = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?"),
new AIMessage({
content: "",
tool_calls: [
{
id: "1",
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
args: { query: "types of reward hacking" },
type: "tool_call"
}
]
}),
new ToolMessage({ content: "meow", tool_call_id: "1" })
]
};
const response = await rewrite(input);
console.log(response.messages[0].content);
What are the different types of reward hacking described by Lilian Weng, and how does she explain them?
6. 生成答案
- 构建
generate节点:如果我们通过了评分器检查,我们可以根据原始问题和检索到的上下文生成最终答案:
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { GraphNode } from "@langchain/langgraph";
const generate: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const question = state.messages.at(0)?.content;
const context = state.messages.at(-1)?.content;
const prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
`You are an assistant for question-answering tasks.
Use the following pieces of retrieved context to answer the question.
If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know.
Use three sentences maximum and keep the answer concise.
Question: {question}
Context: {context}`
);
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
model: "gpt-4.1",
temperature: 0,
});
const ragChain = prompt.pipe(llm);
const response = await ragChain.invoke({
context,
question,
});
return {
messages: [response],
};
}
- 尝试一下:
import { HumanMessage, AIMessage, ToolMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const input = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?"),
new AIMessage({
content: "",
tool_calls: [
{
id: "1",
name: "retrieve_blog_posts",
args: { query: "types of reward hacking" },
type: "tool_call"
}
]
}),
new ToolMessage({
content: "reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering",
tool_call_id: "1"
})
]
};
const response = await generate(input);
console.log(response.messages[0].content);
Lilian Weng categorizes reward hacking into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering. She considers reward hacking as a broad concept that includes both of these categories. Reward hacking occurs when an agent exploits flaws or ambiguities in the reward function to achieve high rewards without performing the intended behaviors.
7. 组装图
现在我们将所有节点和边组装成一个完整的图:- 从
generateQueryOrRespond开始,并确定是否需要调用检索器工具 - 使用条件边路由到下一步:
- 如果
generateQueryOrRespond返回tool_calls,则调用检索器工具以检索上下文 - 否则,直接响应用户
- 如果
- 评估检索到的文档内容是否与问题相关(
gradeDocuments)并路由到下一步:- 如果不相关,使用
rewrite重写问题,然后再次调用generateQueryOrRespond - 如果相关,继续到
generate并使用带有检索到的文档上下文的ToolMessage生成最终响应
- 如果不相关,使用
import { StateGraph, START, END, ConditionalEdgeRouter } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { ToolNode } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
import { AIMessage } from "langchain";
// 为检索器创建一个 ToolNode
const toolNode = new ToolNode(tools);
// 确定是否应该检索的辅助函数
const shouldRetrieve: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "retrieve"> = (state) => {
const lastMessage = state.messages.at(-1);
if (AIMessage.isInstance(lastMessage) && lastMessage.tool_calls.length) {
return "retrieve";
}
return END;
}
// 定义图
const builder = new StateGraph(GraphState)
.addNode("generateQueryOrRespond", generateQueryOrRespond)
.addNode("retrieve", toolNode)
.addNode("gradeDocuments", gradeDocuments)
.addNode("rewrite", rewrite)
.addNode("generate", generate)
// 添加边
.addEdge(START, "generateQueryOrRespond")
// 决定是否检索
.addConditionalEdges("generateQueryOrRespond", shouldRetrieve)
.addEdge("retrieve", "gradeDocuments")
// 评估文档后采取的边
.addConditionalEdges(
"gradeDocuments",
// 基于评分决策路由
(state) => {
// gradeDocuments 函数返回 "generate" 或 "rewrite"
const lastMessage = state.messages.at(-1);
return lastMessage.content === "generate" ? "generate" : "rewrite";
}
)
.addEdge("generate", END)
.addEdge("rewrite", "generateQueryOrRespond");
// 编译
const graph = builder.compile();
8. 运行代理 RAG
现在让我们通过运行一个问题来测试完整的图:import { HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
const inputs = {
messages: [
new HumanMessage("What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?")
]
};
for await (const output of await graph.stream(inputs)) {
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(output)) {
const lastMsg = output[key].messages[output[key].messages.length - 1];
console.log(`Output from node: '${key}'`);
console.log({
type: lastMsg._getType(),
content: lastMsg.content,
tool_calls: lastMsg.tool_calls,
});
console.log("---\n");
}
}
Output from node: 'generateQueryOrRespond'
{
type: 'ai',
content: '',
tool_calls: [
{
name: 'retrieve_blog_posts',
args: { query: 'types of reward hacking' },
id: 'call_...',
type: 'tool_call'
}
]
}
---
Output from node: 'retrieve'
{
type: 'tool',
content: '(Note: Some work defines reward tampering as a distinct category...\n' +
'At a high level, reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering.\n' +
'...',
tool_calls: undefined
}
---
Output from node: 'generate'
{
type: 'ai',
content: 'Lilian Weng categorizes reward hacking into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering. She considers reward hacking as a broad concept that includes both of these categories. Reward hacking occurs when an agent exploits flaws or ambiguities in the reward function to achieve high rewards without performing the intended behaviors.',
tool_calls: []
}
