    A Coding Implementation to Build an AI Agent with Live Python Execution and Automated Validation

    May 25, 2025

    In this tutorial, we will discover how to harness the power of an advanced AI Agent, augmented with both Python execution and result-validation capabilities, to tackle complex computational tasks. By integrating LangChain’s ReAct agent framework with Anthropic’s Claude API, we build an end-to-end solution to generate Python code and execute it live, capture its outputs, maintain execution state, and automatically verify results against expected properties or test cases. This seamless loop of “write → run → validate” empowers you to develop robust analyses, algorithms, and simple ML pipelines with confidence in every step.

    !pip install langchain langchain-anthropic langchain-core anthropic

    We install the core LangChain framework along with the Anthropic integration and its core utilities, ensuring you have both the agent orchestration tools (langchain, langchain-core) and the Claude-specific bindings (langchain-anthropic, anthropic) available in your environment.

    from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
    import sys
    import io
    import re
    import json
    from typing import Dict, Any, List

    We bring together everything needed to build our ReAct-style agent: OS access for environment variables, LangChain’s agent constructors (create_react_agent, AgentExecutor), and Tool class for defining custom actions, the PromptTemplate for crafting the chain-of-thought prompt, and Anthropic’s ChatAnthropic client for connecting to Claude. Standard Python modules (sys, io, re, json) handle I/O capture, regular expressions, and serialization, while typing provides type hints for clearer, more maintainable code.

    This PythonREPLTool encapsulates a stateful in‐process Python REPL: it captures and executes arbitrary code (evaluating expressions or running statements), redirects stdout/stderr to record outputs and errors, and maintains a history of each execution. Returning a formatted summary, including the executed code, any console output or errors, and return values, provides transparent, reproducible feedback for every snippet run within our agent.

    This ResultValidator class builds on the PythonREPLTool to automatically generate and run bespoke validation routines, checking numerical properties, verifying data structures, or running algorithm test cases against the agent’s execution history. Emitting Python snippets that extract outputs, compare them to expected criteria, and summarize pass/fail results closes the loop on “execute → validate” within our agent’s workflow.

    validator = ResultValidator(python_repl)
    

    Here, we instantiate our interactive Python REPL tool (python_repl) and then create a ResultValidator tied to that same REPL instance. This wiring ensures any code you execute is immediately available for automated validation steps, closing the loop on execution and correctness checking.

    This AdvancedClaudeCodeAgent class wraps everything into a single, easy-to-use interface: it configures the Anthropic Claude client (using your API key), instantiates a ReAct-style agent with our python_repl and result_validator tools and the custom prompt, and sets up an executor that drives iterative “think → code → validate” loops. Its run() method lets you submit natural-language queries and returns Claude’s final, self-checked answer; validate_last_result() exposes manual hooks for additional checks; and get_execution_summary() provides a concise report on every code snippet you’ve executed (how many succeeded, failed, and their details).

        print(f"nSuccess rate: {(summary['successful_executions']/summary['total_executions']*100):.1f}%")

    Finally, we instantiate the AdvancedClaudeCodeAgent with your Anthropic API key, run four illustrative example queries (covering prime‐number analysis, sales data analytics, algorithm implementations, and a simple ML pipeline), and print each validated result. Finally, it gathers and displays a concise execution summary, total runs, successes, failures, and error details, demonstrating the agent’s live “write → run → validate” workflow.

    In conclusion, we have developed a versatile AdvancedClaudeCodeAgent capable of seamlessly blending generative reasoning with precise computational control. At its core, this Agent doesn’t just draft Python snippets; it runs them on the spot and checks their correctness against your specified criteria, closing the feedback loop automatically. Whether you’re performing prime-number analyses, statistical data evaluations, algorithm benchmarking, or end-to-end ML workflows, this pattern ensures reliability and reproducibility.
