createTanStackTools

createTanStackTools(__namedParameters: TanStackChatToolsOptions): TanStackTool<unknown, unknown>[]

Create a set of Chat SDK tools for TanStack AI. Returns plain tool objects accepted by chat({ tools }) from @tanstack/ai, with the same tools, presets, approval flags, scope guard, and override rules as createChatTools from chat/ai. Requires zod 4.2 or newer for the input schemas. needsApproval: true makes TanStack pause the run with a tool-approval interrupt; a server-side bot has to resume that run itself (see the TanStack AI docs on tool approval), so most bots pass requireApproval: false or handle approval before calling chat().

import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { vercelGatewayText } from '@tanstack/ai-vercel-gateway'
import { createTanStackTools, toTanStackMessages } from 'chat/ai/tanstack'

bot.onNewMention(async (thread, message) => {
  const history = await thread.adapter.fetchMessages(thread.id, { limit: 20 })
  const stream = chat({
    adapter: vercelGatewayText('anthropic/claude-opus-5'),
    systemPrompts: ['You are a helpful assistant.'],
    messages: await toTanStackMessages(history.messages),
    tools: createTanStackTools({ chat: bot, preset: 'messenger', requireApproval: false }),
  })
  await thread.post(stream)
})
