You need
the kit, the venv, python data/make_dataset.py done, Ollama running with llama3.2
Deliverable
your Step 4 sentence and the True line under it

The lab kit of the course: https://github.com/hrhouma2/aiopsatlas-ml-data-diagnostics-labs-en

Goal

A supervisor asks "Give me the stats of machine M014". The numbers are in diagnostics.sqlite. The model cannot read a database. You will write one Python function that can, hand it to llama3.2 as a tool, and let the model ask for it. Your code checks the request, runs the query and returns the result. The model then writes the sentence. You will also see the model ask for the tool when it should not, and stop it.
