Overview

Design and implement your own custom tools to extend the agent's capabilities for specialized tasks.

Instructions

1. Review the custom tool example in the documentation
2. Create a Python file to define your custom tools (e.g., my_tools.py)
3. Implement at least 2 of the following custom tools:
4. A random quote generator that returns an inspirational quote

Extension Ideas

• Create a tool that connects to an external API (like weather, news, or sports data)
• Design a tool that performs a specialized calculation relevant to your field of study
• Implement a tool that works with files (e.g., reading CSV data or creating simple charts)
