# Problem
I noticed that in order to change the prefix of the prompt in the
`zero-shot-react-description` agent
we had to dig around to subset strings deep into the agent's attributes.
It requires the user to inspect a long chain of attributes and classes.
`initialize_agent -> AgentExecutor -> Agent -> LLMChain -> Prompt from
Agent.create_prompt`
``` python
agent = initialize_agent(
tools=tools,
llm=fake_llm,
agent="zero-shot-react-description"
)
prompt_str = agent.agent.llm_chain.prompt.template
new_prompt_str = change_prefix(prompt_str)
agent.agent.llm_chain.prompt.template = new_prompt_str
```
# Implemented Solution
`initialize_agent` accepts `**kwargs` but passes it to `AgentExecutor`
but not `ZeroShotAgent`, by simply giving the kwargs to the agent class
methods we can support changing the prefix and suffix for one agent
while allowing future agents to take advantage of `initialize_agent`.
```
agent = initialize_agent(
tools=tools,
llm=fake_llm,
agent="zero-shot-react-description",
agent_kwargs={"prefix": prefix, "suffix": suffix}
)
```
To be fair, this was before finding docs around custom agents here:
https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/agents/examples/custom_agent.html?highlight=custom%20#custom-llmchain
but i find that my use case just needed to change the prefix a little.
# Changes
* Pass kwargs to Agent class method
* Added a test to check suffix and prefix

It's generally considered to be a good practice to pin dependencies to
prevent surprise breakages when a new version of a dependency is
released. This commit adds the ability to pin dependencies when loading
from LangChainHub.
Centralizing this logic and using urllib fixes an issue identified by
some windows users highlighted in this video -

The agents usually benefit from understanding what the data looks like
to be able to filter effectively. Sending just one row in the table info
allows the agent to understand the data before querying and get better
results.

text-davinci-003 supports a context size of 4097 tokens so return 4097
instead of 4000 in modelname_to_contextsize() for text-davinci-003

Some custom agents might continue to iterate until they find the correct
answer, getting stuck on loops that generate request after request and
are really expensive for the end user. Putting an upper bound for the
number of iterations
by default controls this and can be explicitly tweaked by the user if
necessary.

Referring to #687, I implemented the functionality to reduce K if it
exceeds the token limit.
Edit: I should have ran make lint locally. Also, this only applies to
`StuffDocumentChain`
* add implementations of `BaseCallbackHandler` to support tracing:
`SharedTracer` which is thread-safe and `Tracer` which is not and is
meant to be used locally.
* Tracers persist runs to locally running `langchain-server`

If `distance_func` and `collection_name` are in `kwargs` they are sent
to the `QdrantClient` which results in an error being raised.
