In this tutorial, we’ll harness Riza’s secure Python execution as the cornerstone of a powerful, tool-augmented AI agent in Google Colab. Beginning with seamless API key management, through Colab secrets, environment variables, or hidden prompts, we’ll configure your Riza credentials to enable sandboxed, audit-ready code execution. We’ll integrate Riza’s ExecPython tool into a LangChain agent alongside Google’s Gemini generative model, define an AdvancedCallbackHandler that captures both tool invocations and Riza execution logs, and build custom utilities for complex math and in-depth text analysis.

from google.colab import userdataWe will install and upgrade the core libraries, LangChain Community extensions, Google Gemini integration, Riza’s secure execution package, and dotenv support, quietly in Colab. We then import standard utilities (e.g., os, datetime, json), typing annotations, secure input via getpass, and Colab’s user data API to manage environment variables and user secrets seamlessly.

exit()The above cell defines a setup_api_keys() function that securely retrieves your Google Gemini and Riza API keys by first attempting to load them from Colab secrets, then falling back to existing environment variables, and finally prompting you to enter them via hidden input if needed. If none of these methods succeed, it prints instructions on how to provide your keys and exits the notebook.

In this cell, we first define and run validate_api_keys() to ensure that both the Gemini and Riza credentials work, attempting a dummy LLM call and instantiating the Riza ExecPython tool. We exit the notebook if validation fails. We then instantiate python_tool for secure code execution, wrap our MathTool and TextAnalyzer methods into LangChain Tool objects, and collect them into the tools list. Finally, we initialize the Gemini model with custom settings (temperature, max_tokens, top_p, top_k), and if the “Pro” configuration fails, we gracefully fall back to the lighter “Flash” variant.

This cell constructs the agent’s “brain” and workflow: it defines a structured ChatPromptTemplate that instructs the system on its toolset and reasoning style, sets up a sliding-window conversation memory to retain the last five exchanges, and instantiates the AdvancedCallbackHandler for real-time logging. It then creates a tool‐calling agent by binding the Gemini LLM, custom tools, and prompt template, and wraps it in an AgentExecutor that manages execution (up to ten steps), leverages memory for context, streams verbose output, and halts cleanly once the agent generates a final response.

print("📈 FINAL SUMMARY:")
successful = sum(1 for r in results if r["success"])
print(f"Successfully processed: {successful}/{len(results)} questions")Finally, we define a helper function, ask_question(), that sends a user query to the agent executor, prints the question header, captures the agent’s response (or error), and then outputs a brief execution summary (showing how many tool calls were made). It then supplies a list of sample questions, covering counting characters, computing compound interest, analyzing word frequency, and generating a Fibonacci sequence, and iterates through them, invoking the agent on each and collecting the results. After running all tests, it prints a concise “FINAL SUMMARY” indicating how many queries were processed successfully, confirming that your Advanced Gemini + Riza agent is up and running in Colab.
In conclusion, by centering the architecture on Riza’s secure execution environment, we’ve created an AI agent that generates insightful responses via Gemini while also running arbitrary Python code in a fully sandboxed, monitored context. The integration of Riza’s ExecPython tool ensures that every computation, from advanced numerical routines to dynamic text analyses, is executed with rigorous security and transparency. With LangChain orchestrating tool calls and a memory buffer maintaining context, we now have a modular framework ready for real-world tasks such as automated data processing, research prototyping, or educational demos.
