Feature Description

Feature request

Motivation

Cala (https://cala.ai) is a verified knowledge graph API for AI agents. It returns structured, source-cited, traceable facts — not raw web scrapes — making it well-suited for production RAG pipelines that require auditable, hallucination-resistant retrieval.

A third-party LangChain integration package (langchain-cala) is already published on PyPI, implementing CalaRetriever as a native BaseRetriever.

Proposed change

Add a provider documentation page: docs/docs/integrations/providers/cala.mdx

The file follows the existing provider page format and includes:

  • A short description of Cala
  • Installation instructions (pip install langchain-cala)
  • Usage examples for search, structured query, and RAG chain modes

Links

Use Case

Developers building RAG pipelines with LangChain currently rely on web-search retrievers (Tavily, Exa) that return unverified, unstructured content. This forces them to add extra validation layers or accept hallucination risk in production.

Cala solves this directly: it returns verified, source-cited, entity-structured facts via a simple API, with full traceability compatible with EU AI Act Article 13 requirements.

A native CalaRetriever in the LangChain integrations hub means any developer building a knowledge-grounded agent can do pip install langchain-cala and drop it into their existing chain — no scraping, no validation overhead, no hallucination risk from stale web content.

Fix Plan

To add a provider documentation page for Cala, follow these steps:

  • Create a new file cala.mdx in the docs/docs/integrations/providers directory.
  • Add a short description of Cala, including its benefits and features.
  • Provide installation instructions using pip install langchain-cala.
  • Include usage examples for search, structured query, and RAG chain modes.

Example cala.mdx content:

# Cala
Cala is a verified knowledge graph API for AI agents, returning structured, source-cited, traceable facts.

## Installation
To use Cala with LangChain, install the `langchain-cala` package:
```bash
pip install langchain-cala

Usage

Search

from langchain import CalaRetriever

retriever = CalaRetriever()
results = retriever.search("example query")

Structured Query

from langchain import CalaRetriever

retriever = CalaRetriever()
results = retriever.query("example query", structured=True)

RAG Chain Mode

from langchain import CalaRetriever, LLMChain

retriever = CalaRetriever()
llm = LLMChain(llm=CalaRetriever())
results = llm({"input": "example query"})

Verification

To verify the fix, check that the cala.mdx file is correctly rendered in the LangChain documentation and that the usage examples work as expected.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to update the langchain-cala package to the latest version.
  • Consider adding more usage examples and documentation for advanced features.
  • Review the EU AI Act Article 13 requirements to ensure compliance.
