  How to add pre- and post- processing to your Agents using JS.
---

## Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes that you have set up MCP Toolbox with a basic agent as described in the [local quickstart](../../getting-started/local_quickstart_js.md).

This guide demonstrates how to implement these patterns in your Toolbox applications.

## Implementation

{{< tabpane persist=header >}}
{{% tab header="ADK" text=true %}}
Coming soon.
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab header="Langchain" text=true %}}
The following example demonstrates how to use `ToolboxClient` with LangChain's middleware to implement pre- and post- processing for tool calls.

```js
{{< include "js/langchain/agent.js" >}}
```

You can also use the `wrapModelCall` hook to intercept messages before and after model calls.
You can also use [node-style hooks](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/middleware/custom#node-style-hooks) to intercept messages at the agent and model level.
See the [LangChain Middleware documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/middleware/custom#tool-call-monitoring) for details on these additional hook types.

{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabpane >}}

## Results

The output should look similar to the following.
