Access Dependencies in Team Tool

How to access dependencies passed to a team in a tool

This example demonstrates how team tools can access dependencies passed to the team, allowing tools to utilize dynamic context like team metrics and current time information while team members collaborate with shared data sources.

Code

cookbook/examples/teams/dependencies/access_dependencies_in_tool.py

from typing import Dict, Any, Optional
from datetime import datetime

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.team import Team
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat

    """Get current contextual information like time, weather, etc."""
    return {
        "current_time": datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"),
        "timezone": "PST",
        "day_of_week": datetime.now().strftime("%A"),
    }

def analyze_team_performance(team_id: str, dependencies: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) -> str:
    """
