Sample Code in "Build Tools Without Auth" asks for a connected account

Hi everyone, I just discovered Composio the other day and decided to give it a try. I am trying to use a custom script as a Custom Tool, and it led me to "Build Tools WIthout Auth" section in the docs: https://docs.composio.dev/patterns/tools/build-tools/custom-action-without-auth I copied everything in the page, combined them into a single script, and upon running, I was met with an error:

throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
                      ^

Error: No connected account found for the user
    at OpenAIToolSet.executeAction

throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
                      ^

Error: No connected account found for the user
    at OpenAIToolSet.executeAction

My script:

import { OpenAIToolSet } from "composio-core";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
import { OpenAI } from "openai";
import { z } from "zod"

const openai_client = new OpenAI();
const toolset = new OpenAIToolSet();

dotenv.config();

await toolset.createAction({
  actionName: "myCustomAction",
  description: "Cow will say whatever you want it to say",
  inputParams: z.object({
    message: z.string()
  }),
  callback: async (inputParams) => {
    const message = inputParams.message;
    const cowMessage = `Cow says: ${message}`;
    // this is where I want to put the custom tool logic
    return cowMessage;
  }
});

const tools = await toolset.getTools({
  actions: ["myCustomAction"]
});

const instruction = "Say 'AI is the future' using cowsay";

const response = await openai_client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4o-mini",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: instruction }],
  tools: tools,
  tool_choice: "auto",
});

const result = await toolset.handleToolCall(response);
console.log(result);

import { OpenAIToolSet } from "composio-core";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
import { OpenAI } from "openai";
import { z } from "zod"

const openai_client = new OpenAI();
const toolset = new OpenAIToolSet();

dotenv.config();

await toolset.createAction({
  actionName: "myCustomAction",
  description: "Cow will say whatever you want it to say",
  inputParams: z.object({
    message: z.string()
  }),
  callback: async (inputParams) => {
    const message = inputParams.message;
    const cowMessage = `Cow says: ${message}`;
    // this is where I want to put the custom tool logic
    return cowMessage;
  }
});

const tools = await toolset.getTools({
  actions: ["myCustomAction"]
});

const instruction = "Say 'AI is the future' using cowsay";

const response = await openai_client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4o-mini",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: instruction }],
  tools: tools,
  tool_choice: "auto",
});

const result = await toolset.handleToolCall(response);
console.log(result);

I really wonder what I am missing here.

Strange, can we have a small meet so I can see the issue better @Raymel (@pseudokid on X) ?? You can tell me your available time in IST

I realized that I skipped the authentication process. I believe this will get resolved once I get past the authentication. I'm having issues with the CLI though, I detailed it on the other thread.

I already ran composio login and I successfully authenticated myself However, running the script I made (which I derived exactly from the doc example) still leads to the same error

/node_modules/composio-core/index.js:3975    
                throw new Error("No connected account found for the user")

/node_modules/composio-core/index.js:3975    
                throw new Error("No connected account found for the user")

I made a quick scan to the code that throws the said exception, and now I need to figure out where I can find this accountId because the code requires it. This is the exact code that requires it: node_modules/composio-core/index.js:3975:23:

// Custom actions are always executed in the host/local environment for JS SDK
        if (await this.isCustomAction(action)) {
            let accountId = connectedAccountId;
            if (!accountId) {
                // fetch connected account id
                const connectedAccounts = await this.client.connectedAccounts.list({
                    user_uuid: entityId,
                    status: "ACTIVE",
                    showActiveOnly: true,
                });
                accountId = (_a = connectedAccounts === null || connectedAccounts === void 0 ? void 0 : connectedAccounts.items[0]) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.id;
            }
            if (!accountId) {
                throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
            }
            return this.userActionRegistry.executeAction(action, params, {
                entityId: entityId,
                connectionId: accountId,
            });
        }

// Custom actions are always executed in the host/local environment for JS SDK
        if (await this.isCustomAction(action)) {
            let accountId = connectedAccountId;
            if (!accountId) {
                // fetch connected account id
                const connectedAccounts = await this.client.connectedAccounts.list({
                    user_uuid: entityId,
                    status: "ACTIVE",
                    showActiveOnly: true,
                });
                accountId = (_a = connectedAccounts === null || connectedAccounts === void 0 ? void 0 : connectedAccounts.items[0]) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.id;
            }
            if (!accountId) {
                throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
            }
            return this.userActionRegistry.executeAction(action, params, {
                entityId: entityId,
                connectionId: accountId,
            });
        }

The thing is, this requirement is not explicitly detailed on the "Build Tools Without Auth" section in the docs: https://docs.composio.dev/patterns/tools/build-tools/custom-action-without-auth Now, I wonder if a connected account is necessary for a custom action. If it is by design, I don't think I will be able to use composio for my very simple use case that does not even need a connected account.

I was able to run my code by commenting-out the root cause in node_modules/composio-core/index.js:3975:23:

// Custom actions are always executed in the host/local environment for JS SDK
        if (await this.isCustomAction(action)) {
            let accountId = connectedAccountId;
            // if (!accountId) {
            //     // fetch connected account id
            //     const connectedAccounts = await this.client.connectedAccounts.list({
            //         user_uuid: entityId,
            //         status: "ACTIVE",
            //         showActiveOnly: true,
            //     });
            //     accountId = (_a = connectedAccounts === null || connectedAccounts === void 0 ? void 0 : connectedAccounts.items[0]) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.id;
            // }
            // if (!accountId) {
            //     throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
            // }
            return this.userActionRegistry.executeAction(action, params, {
                entityId: entityId,
                connectionId: accountId,
            });
        }

// Custom actions are always executed in the host/local environment for JS SDK
        if (await this.isCustomAction(action)) {
            let accountId = connectedAccountId;
            // if (!accountId) {
            //     // fetch connected account id
            //     const connectedAccounts = await this.client.connectedAccounts.list({
            //         user_uuid: entityId,
            //         status: "ACTIVE",
            //         showActiveOnly: true,
            //     });
            //     accountId = (_a = connectedAccounts === null || connectedAccounts === void 0 ? void 0 : connectedAccounts.items[0]) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.id;
            // }
            // if (!accountId) {
            //     throw new Error("No connected account found for the user");
            // }
            return this.userActionRegistry.executeAction(action, params, {
                entityId: entityId,
                connectionId: accountId,
            });
        }

This proves my assumption right, that custom actions are requiring connections. I also believe that it is unnecessary to require a connection for a custom action, given that I was able to run my code without one. If I am on the right track, please let me know where I can modify the SDK code and make a Pull Request.

sorry for the delay here. this is weird - custom actions should also work without connection (auth). shared this with the team - let me get back to you on this quickly.

Hey @Raymel (@pseudokid on X), could you check if it is working for you or not right now??
