# 🛠️ How can I use Tools directly?

> Guide to use Tools directly as function calls

### Using Tools Directly

Composio allows you to execute tools directly as function calls. When calling a tool directly, you'll need to provide the input parameters. Checkout [Get Action Schema](/patterns/tools/use-tools/get-action-inputs) to learn how to get the input parameters for an action.

Install packages:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Python
  pip install composio-core
  ```

  ```bash JavaScript
  npm install composio-core
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Using tools directly:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python
  from composio import ComposioToolSet, Action

  tool_set = ComposioToolSet(entity_id="Jessica")

  tool_set.execute_action(
     action=Action.GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER,
     params={"owner": "composiohq", "repo": "composio"},
     entity_id="Jessica",
  )
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript
  import { OpenAIToolSet } from "composio-core";

  const toolset = new OpenAIToolSet();
  const entity = toolset.client.getEntity("default");

  const result = await entity.execute({
    actionName: "GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER",
    params: {
      owner: "composiohq",
      repo: "composio",
    },
  });
  console.log(result);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Execute Tools or Actions with Natural Language

You can also execute Tools or Actions by passing in natural language prompts without specific parameters

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python
  tool_set.execute_action(
      action=Action.GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER,
      params={},
      # Natural language prompt
      text="Star the repo composiohq/composio",
      entity_id="Jessica",
  )
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript
  const result = await toolset.client.getEntity("default").execute({
      actionName: "GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER",
      params: {},
      // Natural language prompt
      text: "Star the repo composiohq/composio"
  });
  console.log(result);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### How to execute custom actions directly?

You can execute custom actions directly by specifying the action name as shown below. Here `create_draft` is the custom action name. Learn more about custom actions [here](/patterns/tools/build-tools/custom-action-with-auth).

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python {2}
  toolset.execute_action(
      action=create_draft,
      params={
          "thread_id": "",
          "message_body": "",
      },
      entity_id="Jessica",
  )
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript {2}
  const result = await langchainToolset.executeAction({
      action: "create_draft",
      params:{
          thread_id: "",
          message_body: ""
      },
      entityId: "Jessica",
  })

  console.log(result);
  ```
