# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent

# Example 1: Enable all Slack tools
agent_all = Agent(
    tools=[
        SlackTools(
            all=True,  # Enable all Slack tools
        )
    ],
    markdown=True,
)

# Example 2: Enable specific tools only
agent_specific = Agent(
    tools=[
        SlackTools(
            enable_send_message=True,
            enable_list_channels=True,

            enable_download_file=False,
        )
    ],
    markdown=True,
)

# Example 3: Read-only agent (no send_message)
agent_readonly = Agent(
