概述
在本教程中,我们将使用 LangGraph 构建一个检索智能体。 LangChain 提供了内置的智能体实现,这些实现基于 LangGraph 原语构建。如果需要更深度的自定义,可以直接在 LangGraph 中实现智能体。本指南演示了一个检索智能体的示例实现。检索智能体在您希望 LLM 自行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,我们将完成以下工作:- 获取并预处理将用于检索的文档。
- 将这些文档索引用于语义搜索,并为智能体创建检索工具。
- 构建一个能够决定何时使用检索工具的智能体 RAG 系统。

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 API 密钥:Copy
pip install -U langgraph "langchain[openai]" langchain-community langchain-text-splitters bs4
Copy
import getpass
import os
def _set_env(key: str):
if key not in os.environ:
os.environ[key] = getpass.getpass(f"{key}:")
_set_env("OPENAI_API_KEY")

1. 预处理文档
- 获取用于 RAG 系统的文档。我们将使用 Lilian Weng 博客中最新的三篇文章。首先使用
WebBaseLoader工具获取页面内容:
Copy
from langchain_community.document_loaders import WebBaseLoader
urls = [
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-11-28-reward-hacking/",
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-07-07-hallucination/",
"https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-04-12-diffusion-video/",
]
docs = [WebBaseLoader(url).load() for url in urls]
Copy
docs[0][0].page_content.strip()[:1000]
- 将获取的文档分割成较小的块,以便索引到向量存储中:
Copy
from langchain_text_splitters import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
docs_list = [item for sublist in docs for item in sublist]
text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter.from_tiktoken_encoder(
chunk_size=100, chunk_overlap=50
)
doc_splits = text_splitter.split_documents(docs_list)
Copy
doc_splits[0].page_content.strip()
2. 创建检索工具
现在我们已经有了分割后的文档,可以将它们索引到向量存储中,用于语义搜索。- 使用内存向量存储和 OpenAI 嵌入:
Copy
from langchain_core.vectorstores import InMemoryVectorStore
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
vectorstore = InMemoryVectorStore.from_documents(
documents=doc_splits, embedding=OpenAIEmbeddings()
)
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever()
- 使用
@tool装饰器创建检索工具:
Copy
from langchain.tools import tool
@tool
def retrieve_blog_posts(query: str) -> str:
"""Search and return information about Lilian Weng blog posts."""
docs = retriever.invoke(query)
return "\n\n".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])
retriever_tool = retrieve_blog_posts
- 测试工具:
Copy
retriever_tool.invoke({"query": "types of reward hacking"})
3. 生成查询
现在我们开始为智能体 RAG 图构建组件(节点和边)。 注意,这些组件将在MessagesState 上运行——图状态包含一个 messages 键,其中有一个聊天消息列表。
- 构建
generate_query_or_respond节点。它将调用 LLM,根据当前图状态(消息列表)生成响应。根据输入消息,它将决定使用检索工具进行检索,或直接响应用户。注意,我们通过.bind_tools为聊天模型提供了之前创建的retriever_tool:
Copy
from langgraph.graph import MessagesState
from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
response_model = init_chat_model("gpt-4.1", temperature=0)
def generate_query_or_respond(state: MessagesState):
"""Call the model to generate a response based on the current state. Given
the question, it will decide to retrieve using the retriever tool, or simply respond to the user.
"""
response = (
response_model
.bind_tools([retriever_tool]).invoke(state["messages"])
)
return {"messages": [response]}
- 用随机输入测试:
Copy
input = {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hello!"}]}
generate_query_or_respond(input)["messages"][-1].pretty_print()
Copy
================================== Ai Message ==================================
Hello! How can I help you today?
- 提问一个需要语义搜索的问题:
Copy
input = {
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
}
]
}
generate_query_or_respond(input)["messages"][-1].pretty_print()
Copy
================================== Ai Message ==================================
Tool Calls:
retrieve_blog_posts (call_tYQxgfIlnQUDMdtAhdbXNwIM)
Call ID: call_tYQxgfIlnQUDMdtAhdbXNwIM
Args:
query: types of reward hacking
4. 评分文档
- 添加一个条件边 —
grade_documents— 来判断检索到的文档是否与问题相关。我们将使用带有结构化输出模式GradeDocuments的模型进行文档评分。grade_documents函数将根据评分决定(generate_answer或rewrite_question)返回要转到的节点名称:
Copy
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from typing import Literal
GRADE_PROMPT = (
"You are a grader assessing relevance of a retrieved document to a user question. \n "
"Here is the retrieved document: \n\n {context} \n\n"
"Here is the user question: {question} \n"
"If the document contains keyword(s) or semantic meaning related to the user question, grade it as relevant. \n"
"Give a binary score 'yes' or 'no' score to indicate whether the document is relevant to the question."
)
class GradeDocuments(BaseModel):
"""Grade documents using a binary score for relevance check."""
binary_score: str = Field(
description="Relevance score: 'yes' if relevant, or 'no' if not relevant"
)
grader_model = init_chat_model("gpt-4.1", temperature=0)
def grade_documents(
state: MessagesState,
) -> Literal["generate_answer", "rewrite_question"]:
"""Determine whether the retrieved documents are relevant to the question."""
question = state["messages"][0].content
context = state["messages"][-1].content
prompt = GRADE_PROMPT.format(question=question, context=context)
response = (
grader_model
.with_structured_output(GradeDocuments).invoke(
[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
)
)
score = response.binary_score
if score == "yes":
return "generate_answer"
else:
return "rewrite_question"
- 用工具响应中的不相关文档运行:
Copy
from langchain_core.messages import convert_to_messages
input = {
"messages": convert_to_messages(
[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "",
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "retrieve_blog_posts",
"args": {"query": "types of reward hacking"},
}
],
},
{"role": "tool", "content": "meow", "tool_call_id": "1"},
]
)
}
grade_documents(input)
- 确认相关文档被正确分类:
Copy
input = {
"messages": convert_to_messages(
[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "",
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "retrieve_blog_posts",
"args": {"query": "types of reward hacking"},
}
],
},
{
"role": "tool",
"content": "reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering",
"tool_call_id": "1",
},
]
)
}
grade_documents(input)
5. 重写问题
- 构建
rewrite_question节点。检索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_question节点:
Copy
from langchain.messages import HumanMessage
REWRITE_PROMPT = (
"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:"
)
def rewrite_question(state: MessagesState):
"""Rewrite the original user question."""
messages = state["messages"]
question = messages[0].content
prompt = REWRITE_PROMPT.format(question=question)
response = response_model.invoke([{"role": "user", "content": prompt}])
return {"messages": [HumanMessage(content=response.content)]}
- 试用:
Copy
input = {
"messages": convert_to_messages(
[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "",
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "retrieve_blog_posts",
"args": {"query": "types of reward hacking"},
}
],
},
{"role": "tool", "content": "meow", "tool_call_id": "1"},
]
)
}
response = rewrite_question(input)
print(response["messages"][-1].content)
Copy
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_answer节点:如果通过评分检查,我们可以根据原始问题和检索到的上下文生成最终答案:
Copy
GENERATE_PROMPT = (
"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.\n"
"Question: {question} \n"
"Context: {context}"
)
def generate_answer(state: MessagesState):
"""Generate an answer."""
question = state["messages"][0].content
context = state["messages"][-1].content
prompt = GENERATE_PROMPT.format(question=question, context=context)
response = response_model.invoke([{"role": "user", "content": prompt}])
return {"messages": [response]}
- 试用:
Copy
input = {
"messages": convert_to_messages(
[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "",
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "retrieve_blog_posts",
"args": {"query": "types of reward hacking"},
}
],
},
{
"role": "tool",
"content": "reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering",
"tool_call_id": "1",
},
]
)
}
response = generate_answer(input)
response["messages"][-1].pretty_print()
Copy
================================== Ai Message ==================================
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
generate_query_or_respond开始,判断是否需要调用retriever_tool - 使用
tools_condition路由到下一步:- 如果
generate_query_or_respond返回了tool_calls,调用retriever_tool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与问题的相关性(
grade_documents)并路由到下一步:- 如果不相关,使用
rewrite_question重写问题,然后再次调用generate_query_or_respond - 如果相关,继续到
generate_answer,使用包含检索文档上下文的ToolMessage生成最终响应
- 如果不相关,使用
Copy
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode, tools_condition
workflow = StateGraph(MessagesState)
# Define the nodes we will cycle between
workflow.add_node(generate_query_or_respond)
workflow.add_node("retrieve", ToolNode([retriever_tool]))
workflow.add_node(rewrite_question)
workflow.add_node(generate_answer)
workflow.add_edge(START, "generate_query_or_respond")
# Decide whether to retrieve
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"generate_query_or_respond",
# Assess LLM decision (call `retriever_tool` tool or respond to the user)
tools_condition,
{
# Translate the condition outputs to nodes in our graph
"tools": "retrieve",
END: END,
},
)
# Edges taken after the `action` node is called.
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"retrieve",
# Assess agent decision
grade_documents,
)
workflow.add_edge("generate_answer", END)
workflow.add_edge("rewrite_question", "generate_query_or_respond")
# Compile
graph = workflow.compile()
Copy
from IPython.display import Image, display
display(Image(graph.get_graph().draw_mermaid_png()))

8. 运行智能体 RAG
现在让我们通过运行一个问题来测试完整的图:Copy
for chunk in graph.stream(
{
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What does Lilian Weng say about types of reward hacking?",
}
]
}
):
for node, update in chunk.items():
print("Update from node", node)
update["messages"][-1].pretty_print()
print("\n\n")
Copy
Update from node generate_query_or_respond
================================== Ai Message ==================================
Tool Calls:
retrieve_blog_posts (call_NYu2vq4km9nNNEFqJwefWKu1)
Call ID: call_NYu2vq4km9nNNEFqJwefWKu1
Args:
query: types of reward hacking
Update from node retrieve
================================= Tool Message ==================================

(Note: Some work defines reward tampering as a distinct category of misalignment behavior from reward hacking. But I consider reward hacking as a broader concept here.)
At a high level, reward hacking can be categorized into two types: environment or goal misspecification, and reward tampering.
Why does Reward Hacking Exist?#
Pan et al. (2022) investigated reward hacking as a function of agent capabilities, including (1) model size, (2) action space resolution, (3) observation space noise, and (4) training time. They also proposed a taxonomy of three types of misspecified proxy rewards:
Let's Define Reward Hacking#
Reward shaping in RL is challenging. Reward hacking occurs when an RL agent exploits flaws or ambiguities in the reward function to obtain high rewards without genuinely learning the intended behaviors or completing the task as designed. In recent years, several related concepts have been proposed, all referring to some form of reward hacking:
