🎉 griptape 0.8 and griptape-tools 0.10 are out with new tools and capabilities!
With this update, we aimed to stabilize framework APIs as much as possible, so that we can develop new functionality without any breaking changes faster.
The focus of this release was storage ramps—dynamic tool wrappers that enable LLMs to pass external data between tools, without the LLM ever loading it into the prompt.
We also introduced several new tools: TextProcessor, FileManager, PdfReader, and RestApi.
