    """Template for creating new tools
    
    Args:
        params: Tool parameters
        
    Returns:
        Tool execution results
    """
    # Implementation
    pass

2. Custom Agent Creation

class CustomAgent:
    def __init__(self, config: Dict[str, Any]):
        self.config = config
        
    def process(self, input: str) -> str:
        """Process user input and generate response"""
        # Implementation
        pass
