Thanks for reaching out, Harsh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Absolutely! In LiveKit, a tool can definitely be called within a task. Tasks are thoughtfully designed to be reusable components that help accomplish specific goals, and they can use tools to carry out various actions. For instance, a task might use tools to generate agent speech, interact with external APIs, or manage user interactions. To give you a clear example, consider the
CollectConsent
task, which is designed to ask for recording consent. It uses tools like
consent_given
and
consent_denied
to handle the user's responses and successfully complete the task. Just a quick heads-up: tasks are currently an experimental feature available in the Python SDK. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask—I’m here to help! Sources: Workflows | LiveKit Docs | Tool definition and use | LiveKit Docs
