I would like to refactor create_react_agent to no longer use ToolNode.

Specifically, I'd like to have each tool added as an individual node to the graph.
tools should no longer accept a ToolNode instance, and we should no longer create a ToolNode with all of the provided tools.

We will still need to create a wrapper around tool funcs ToolExecutor or something, that manages execution of a given tool and routing of the response. We probably shouldn't call it ToolNode to avoid confusion with the previous construct.

🟠 Plan Ready for Approval 🟠

I've generated a plan for this issue and it's ready for your review.

Plan: Refactor create_react_agent to remove ToolNode and add individual tool nodes

  • Task 1:
**Create ToolExecutor class** in `libs/prebuilt/langgraph/prebuilt/chat_agent_executor.py` that wraps individual tool execution. This class should handle state/store injection using the same logic as ToolNode.inject_tool_args(), implement error handling like ToolNode._run_one()/_arun_one(), validate tool calls, and return ToolMessage with proper tool_call_id. The class should support both sync and async execution and be similar to ToolNode but for single tool execution.
  • Task 2:
**Modify create_react_agent function signature** in `libs/prebuilt/langgraph/prebuilt/chat_agent_executor.py` to change the tools parameter from `Union[Sequence[Union[BaseTool, Callable, dict[str, Any]]], ToolNode]` to `Sequence[Union[BaseTool, Callable, dict[str, Any]]]` (removing ToolNode support). Remove the ToolNode import and the conditional logic that checks `isinstance(tools, ToolNode)` around lines 503-509.
  • Task 3:
**Replace single tools node with individual tool nodes** in `libs/prebuilt/langgraph/prebuilt/chat_agent_executor.py`. Remove `workflow.add_node('tools', tool_node)` around line 814 and replace it with a loop that adds each tool as an individual node: `for tool in tool_classes: workflow.add_node(tool.name, ToolExecutor(tool, handle_tool_errors, messages_key, state_schema, store))`. Ensure each tool node uses the ToolExecutor wrapper.
  • Task 4:
**Update routing logic for v2** in `libs/prebuilt/langgraph/prebuilt/chat_agent_executor.py`. In the should_continue() function around lines 797-801, change `return [Send('tools', [tool_call]) for tool_call in tool_calls]` to `return [Send(call['name'], call) for call in tool_calls]`. Similarly, update the post_model_hook_router() function around lines 882-886 to route to individual tool names instead of 'tools'.
  • Task 5:
**Update conditional edges path_map** in `libs/prebuilt/langgraph/prebuilt/chat_agent_executor.py` to include all individual tool names instead of just 'tools'. Update agent_paths and post_model_hook_paths around lines 829-850 to include all tool names from tool_classes. Update the route_tool_responses() function around lines 906-926 to work with individual tool names for return_direct logic.
  • Task 6:
**Run formatting, linting, and tests** in the `libs/prebuilt` directory: execute `make format`, `make lint`, and `make test` to ensure all existing functionality is preserved and no regressions are introduced.

Please review the plan and let me know if you'd like me to proceed, make changes, or if you have any feedback.

Hi @sydney-runkle I saw the PR that open-swe made was closed. Do you still need help with this issue?
