Reverse invoking a Model refers to the ability of a plugin to call Dify’s internal LLM capabilities, including all model types and functions within the platform, such as TTS, Rerank, etc. If you are not familiar with the basic concepts of reverse invocation, please read Reverse Invocation of Dify Services first. However, please note that invoking a model requires passing a ModelConfig type parameter. Its structure can be referenced in the General Specifications Definition, and this structure will have slight differences for different types of models. For example, for LLM type models, it also needs to include completion_params and mode parameters. You can manually construct this structure or use model-selector type parameters or configurations.

Invoke LLM

​
Entry Point

    self.session.model.llm

​
Endpoint

    def invoke(
        self,
        model_config: LLMModelConfig,
        prompt_messages: list[PromptMessage],
        tools: list[PromptMessageTool] | None = None,
        stop: list[str] | None = None,
        stream: bool = True,
    ) -> Generator[LLMResultChunk, None, None] | LLMResult:
        pass
Please note that if the model you are invoking does not have tool_call capability, the tools passed here will not take effect.

​
Use Case

If you want to invoke OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini model within a Tool, please refer to the following example code: 
from collections.abc import Generator
from typing import Any

from dify_plugin import Tool
from dify_plugin.entities.model.llm import LLMModelConfig
from dify_plugin.entities.tool import ToolInvokeMessage
from dify_plugin.entities.model.message import SystemPromptMessage, UserPromptMessage

class LLMTool(Tool):
    def _invoke(self, tool_parameters: dict[str, Any]) -> Generator[ToolInvokeMessage]:
        response = self.session.model.llm.invoke(
            model_config=LLMModelConfig(
                provider='openai',
                model='gpt-4o-mini',
                mode='chat',
                completion_params={}
            ),
            prompt_messages=[
                SystemPromptMessage(
                    content='you are a helpful assistant'
                ),
                UserPromptMessage(
                    content=tool_parameters.get('query')
                )
            ],
            stream=True
        )

        for chunk in response:
            if chunk.delta.message:
                assert isinstance(chunk.delta.message.content, str)
                yield self.create_text_message(text=chunk.delta.message.content)
Note that the query parameter from tool_parameters is passed in the code.

​
Best Practice

It is not recommended to manually construct LLMModelConfig. Instead, allow users to select the model they want to use on the UI. In this case, you can modify the tool’s parameter list by adding a model parameter as follows: 
identity:
  name: llm
  author: Dify
  label:
    en_US: LLM
    zh_Hans: LLM
    pt_BR: LLM
description:
  human:
    en_US: A tool for invoking a large language model
    zh_Hans: 用于调用大型语言模型的工具
    pt_BR: A tool for invoking a large language model
  llm: A tool for invoking a large language model
parameters:
  - name: prompt
    type: string
    required: true
    label:
      en_US: Prompt string
      zh_Hans: 提示字符串
      pt_BR: Prompt string
    human_description:
      en_US: used for searching
      zh_Hans: 用于搜索网页内容
      pt_BR: used for searching
    llm_description: key words for searching
    form: llm
  - name: model
    type: model-selector
    scope: llm
    required: true
    label:
      en_US: Model
      zh_Hans: 使用的模型
      pt_BR: Model
    human_description:
      en_US: Model
      zh_Hans: 使用的模型
      pt_BR: Model
    llm_description: which Model to invoke
    form: form
extra:
  python:
    source: tools/llm.py
Please note that in this example, the scope of model is specified as llm. This means the user can only select llm type parameters. Thus, the code from the previous use case can be modified as follows: 
from collections.abc import Generator
from typing import Any

from dify_plugin import Tool
from dify_plugin.entities.model.llm import LLMModelConfig
from dify_plugin.entities.tool import ToolInvokeMessage
from dify_plugin.entities.model.message import SystemPromptMessage, UserPromptMessage

class LLMTool(Tool):
    def _invoke(self, tool_parameters: dict[str, Any]) -> Generator[ToolInvokeMessage]:
        response = self.session.model.llm.invoke(
            model_config=tool_parameters.get('model'),
            prompt_messages=[
                SystemPromptMessage(
                    content='you are a helpful assistant'
                ),
                UserPromptMessage(
                    content=tool_parameters.get('query') # Assuming 'query' is still needed, otherwise use 'prompt' from parameters
                )
            ],
            stream=True
        )

        for chunk in response:
            if chunk.delta.message:
                assert isinstance(chunk.delta.message.content, str)
                yield self.create_text_message(text=chunk.delta.message.content)

​
Invoke Summary

You can request this endpoint to summarize a piece of text. It will use the system model within your current workspace to summarize the text. Entry Point 
    self.session.model.summary
Endpoint
  • text is the text to be summarized.
  • instruction is the additional instruction you want to add, allowing you to summarize the text stylistically.
    def invoke(
        self, text: str, instruction: str,
    ) -> str:

​
Invoke TextEmbedding

Entry Point 
    self.session.model.text_embedding
Endpoint 
    def invoke(
        self, model_config: TextEmbeddingResult, texts: list[str]
    ) -> TextEmbeddingResult:
        pass

​
Invoke Rerank

Entry Point 
    self.session.model.rerank
Endpoint 
    def invoke(
        self, model_config: RerankModelConfig, docs: list[str], query: str
    ) -> RerankResult:
        pass

​
Invoke TTS

Entry Point 
    self.session.model.tts
Endpoint 
    def invoke(
        self, model_config: TTSModelConfig, content_text: str
    ) -> Generator[bytes, None, None]:
        pass
Please note that the bytes stream returned by the tts endpoint is an mp3 audio byte stream. Each iteration returns a complete audio segment. If you want to perform more in-depth processing tasks, please choose an appropriate library.

​
Invoke Speech2Text

Entry Point 
    self.session.model.speech2text
Endpoint 
    def invoke(
        self, model_config: Speech2TextModelConfig, file: IO[bytes]
    ) -> str:
        pass
Where file is an audio file encoded in mp3 format.

​
Invoke Moderation

Entry Point 
    self.session.model.moderation
Endpoint 
    def invoke(self, model_config: ModerationModelConfig, text: str) -> bool:
        pass
If this endpoint returns true, it indicates that the text contains sensitive content.
