Structured Output
Request a MovieScript from an Ollama llama3.2 agent and validate the result with Pydantic.
Code
from typing import List
from agno.agent import Agent, RunOutput # noqa
from agno.models.ollama import Ollama
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from rich.pretty import pprint # noqa
class MovieScript(BaseModel):
name: str = Field(..., description="Give a name to this movie")
setting: str = Field(
..., description="Provide a nice setting for a blockbuster movie."
)
ending: str = Field(
...,
description="Ending of the movie. If not available, provide a happy ending.",
)
genre: str = Field(
...,
description="Genre of the movie. If not available, select action, thriller or romantic comedy.",
)
characters: List[str] = Field(..., description="Name of characters for this movie.")
storyline: str = Field(
..., description="3 sentence storyline for the movie. Make it exciting!"
)
# Agent that returns a structured output
structured_output_agent = Agent(
model=Ollama(host="http://localhost:11434", api_key=None, id="llama3.2"),
description="You write movie scripts.",
output_schema=MovieScript,
)
# Check the parsed type before accessing schema fields.
response = structured_output_agent.run("New York")

else:
print("The model did not return a valid MovieScript:", response.content)
Usage
Set up your virtual environment
uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activateStart the local Ollama service
Install Ollama and start its desktop app or service on http://localhost:11434. If you start it manually with ollama serve, keep that process running in a separate terminal.
In the terminal where you will pull models and run Python, select that server and clear the direct-cloud key. The native Ollama client also reads this key independently of Agno.
export OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:11434
unset OLLAMA_API_KEYPull the model
ollama pull llama3.2Install dependencies
uv pip install -U ollama agnoRun Agent
Save the code above as structured_output.py, then run:
python structured_output.py
