TerminatorStep(name, retry_config=None, error_handler=None, cache_store=None, cache_config=None)

Bases: BasePipelineStep

A step that connects previous steps to the END node.

This step is useful when you want to explicitly terminate a branch or the entire pipeline. It has no processing logic and simply acts as a connection point to the END node.

Example:

pipeline = (
    step_a
    | ConditionalStep(
        name="branch",
        branches={
            "terminate": TerminatorStep("early_end"),
            "continue": step_b
        },
        condition=lambda x: "terminate" if x["should_stop"] else "continue"
    )
    | step_c
)

Attributes:

Name Type Description
name str

A unique identifier for this pipeline step.

retry_policy RetryPolicy | None

Configuration for retry behavior using LangGraph's RetryPolicy.

add_to_graph(graph, previous_endpoints, retry_policy=None)

Adds this step to the graph and connects it to the END node.

This method is used by Pipeline to manage the pipeline's execution flow. It should not be called directly by users.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
graph StateGraph

The graph to add this step to.

required
previous_endpoints list[str]

The endpoints from previous steps to connect to.

required
retry_policy RetryPolicy | None

Configuration for retry behavior using LangGraph's RetryPolicy. If None, the retry policy of the step is used. If the step is not a retryable step, this parameter is ignored.

None

Returns:

Type Description
list[str]

list[str]: Empty list as this step has no endpoints (it terminates the flow).

execute(state, runtime, config=None) async

Executes this step, which does nothing but pass through the state.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
state PipelineState

The current pipeline state.

required
runtime Runtime[dict[str, Any] | BaseModel]

The runtime information.

required
config RunnableConfig | None

The runnable configuration. Defaults to None.

None
