How to share conversation history to a tool - Autogen

[ekzhu]

For AssistantAgent (https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/reference/python/autogen_agentchat.agents.html#autogen_agentchat.agents.AssistantAgent), it calls tools with parameters generated by the model, so you cannot directly share the conversation history -- you could prompt the model, but that won't be reliable.

The way to do is to create your custom agent, which has built-in knowledge about the tool that takes the conversation history as input, and use it directly without relying on the model. See custom agent: https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/user-guide/agentchat-user-guide/tutorial/custom-agents.html
