- Introduces a plug-n-play 'code mode' tool call scripting for Vercel AI SDK, inspired by Cloudflare's Code Mode.
- LLMs are better at writing JavaScript than using synthetic tool calling syntax.
- Install via npm: `npm install ai tool-scripting`.
- Includes example usage with `generateText`, `tool`, and `stepCountIs` from 'ai' package.
- Defines tools like `getUserLocation` and `getWeather` with schemas and execute functions.
- Wraps `generateText` with `toolScripting` for enhanced functionality.
- Highlights benefits: better LLM performance, composability, security, and simplicity.
- Compares traditional tool calls vs. Tool Scripting approach with examples.
- Requires Node.js 18+ and Vercel AI SDK (`ai` package).
- Works with both TypeScript and JavaScript, licensed under MIT.
