Issue while processing the input

I have created a CustomTool and have defined the input class as
class IdentityNamespaceInput(BaseModel): """Input schema for IdentityNamespaceTool.""" identity_namespace_codes: List[str] = Field( ..., description="List of identity namespace codes to be created." )

When i am kicking off the crew with this
`if name == “main”:
namespace_codes = [
‘b2b_person’,
‘b2b_account’,
‘b2b_opportunity’,
‘b2b_account_person’,
‘b2b_opportunity_person’,
‘b2b_campaign’,
‘b2b_campaign_member’,
‘b2b_marketing_list’,
‘b2b_marketing_list_member’
]

inputs = {
    'identity_namespace_codes': namespace_codes
}

result = IdentityNamespacesCrew().crew().kickoff(
    inputs=inputs
)
print(result)`

Getting error : ## Using tool: IdentityNamespaceTool

Tool Input:

“{"identity_namespace_codes": {"description": "List of identity namespace codes to be created.", "type": "list", "value": ["b2b_person", "b2b_account", "b2b_opportunity", "b2b_account_person", "b2b_opportunity_person", "b2b_campaign", "b2b_campaign_member", "b2b_marketing_list", "b2b_marketing_list_member"]}}”

Tool Output:

I encountered an error while trying to use the tool. This was the error: Arguments validation failed: 1 validation error for IdentityNamespaceInput
identity_namespace_codes
Input should be a valid list [type=list_type, input_value={‘description’: ‘List of …marketing_list_member’]}, input_type=dict]
For further information visit Redirecting....
Tool IdentityNamespaceTool accepts these inputs: Tool Name: IdentityNamespaceTool
Tool Arguments: {‘identity_namespace_codes’: {‘description’: ‘List of identity namespace codes to be created.’, ‘type’: ‘list’}}
Tool Description: Tool to get existing namespaces and create identity namespaces if it is not present in existing namespaces.
Moving on then. I MUST either use a tool (use one at time) OR give my best final answer not both at the same time. When responding, I must use the following format:

What does the tool run method look like? Something like

def _run(self, identity_namespace_codes: List[str]) -> str:

Can you share your tool code?

Hi I am able to fix this issue but I am getting error while accessing the output of previous task in the custom tool I am creating. Do you have any example of that. I am passing the context of the previous task while creating new task.

You don’t access it directly, it is injected into your task automatically. You don’t have to do anything.

What if I want to though? Let’s say the input coming to my crew is a dict with one of the values being a list of strings. If I want to do something to the strings before passing them off to agents, how do I do that? So far I’ve written my own kickoff that does all the preprocessing ahead of time and then passes that to the real kickoff. I also found an example of someone using a pre kickoff hook which could work, but is having issues according to their post here.
