Python: c# SessionsPythonPlugin doesn't expose the DownloadFileAsync as a kernel function #6643

Open rcoccia opened 2 months ago

rcoccia commented 2 months ago

the SessionsPythonPlugin class in Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Plugins.Core.CodeInterpreter provides a DownloadFileAsync to download file from the remote session to a local path.

The methos is not marked with the KernelFunction attribute so it is not visible as a function in a kernel using the plugin.

Don't know if this is a bug or a design choise.

Hi @rcoccia, thank you for filling this issue. We chose not to expose the DownloadFileAsync method as a KernelFunction because it was not clear to us what the scenario would be for the model to download a file and how the KernelFunction should behave. Would you mind giving us some context on your scenario and how you would want model to interact with the file?

Hi, I'm experiment with a math tutor agent. The user question should be something like plot me the equation y=3x+1;
The agent should have the following instruction: You are a math tutor. You could write and run python code to answer user questions. When executing code remember that you are using a persistent session to a remote code interpreter. Don't write code that returns binary content in the stdout; instead save binary content in the remote session file system and automatically download it in the 'c:\temp' local folder. Provide a reference to the locally download file in your response. If the kernel supporting the agent has the download function enable I expect a result like... the plot was produced and it is available in the c:\temp\plot.png local folder
