+
+## 💻 Usage Examples
+
+### File Operations
+
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import file_read, file_write, editor
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[file_read, file_write, editor])
+
+agent.tool.file_read(path="config.json")
+agent.tool.file_write(path="output.txt", content="Hello, world!")
+agent.tool.editor(command="view", path="script.py")
+```
+
+### Dynamic MCP Client Integration
+
+⚠️ **SECURITY WARNING**: The Dynamic MCP Client allows agents to autonomously connect to external MCP servers and load remote tools at runtime. This poses significant security risks as agents can potentially connect to malicious servers and execute untrusted code. Use with extreme caution in production environments.
+
+This tool is different from the static MCP server implementation in the Strands SDK (see [MCP Tools Documentation](https://github.com/strands-agents/docs/blob/main/docs/user-guide/concepts/tools/mcp-tools.md)) which uses pre-configured, trusted MCP servers.
+
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import mcp_client
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[mcp_client])
+
+# Connect to a custom MCP server via stdio
+agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="connect",
+    connection_id="my_tools",
+    transport="stdio",
+    command="python",
+    args=["my_mcp_server.py"]
+)
+
+# List available tools on the server
+tools = agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="list_tools",
+    connection_id="my_tools"
+)
+
+# Call a tool from the MCP server
+result = agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="call_tool",
+    connection_id="my_tools",
+    tool_name="calculate",
+    tool_args={"x": 10, "y": 20}
+)
+
+# Connect to a SSE-based server
+agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="connect",
+    connection_id="web_server",
+    transport="sse",
+    server_url="http://localhost:8080/sse"
+)
+
+# Connect to a streamable HTTP server
+agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="connect",
+    connection_id="http_server",
+    transport="streamable_http",
+    server_url="https://api.example.com/mcp",
+    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer token"},
+    timeout=60
+)
+
+# Load MCP tools into agent's registry for direct access
+# ⚠️ WARNING: This loads external tools directly into the agent
+agent.tool.mcp_client(
+    action="load_tools",
+    connection_id="my_tools"
+)
+# Now you can call MCP tools directly as: agent.tool.calculate(x=10, y=20)
+```
+

+"""Typed hook system for extending agent functionality.
+
+This module provides a composable mechanism for building objects that can hook
+into specific events during the agent lifecycle. The hook system enables both
+built-in SDK components and user code to react to or modify agent behavior
+through strongly-typed event callbacks.
+
+Example Usage:
+    ```python
+    from strands.hooks import HookProvider, HookRegistry
+    from strands.hooks.events import BeforeInvocationEvent, AfterInvocationEvent
+
+    class LoggingHooks(HookProvider):
+        def register_hooks(self, registry: HookRegistry) -> None:
+            registry.add_callback(BeforeInvocationEvent, self.log_start)
+            registry.add_callback(AfterInvocationEvent, self.log_end)
+
+        def log_start(self, event: BeforeInvocationEvent) -> None:
+            print(f"Request started for {event.agent.name}")
+
+        def log_end(self, event: AfterInvocationEvent) -> None:
+            print(f"Request completed for {event.agent.name}")
+
+    # Use with agent
+    agent = Agent(hooks=[LoggingHooks()])
+    ```
+
+This replaces the older callback_handler approach with a more composable,
+type-safe system that supports multiple subscribers per event type.

+# Hook System Rules
+
+## Terminology
+
+- **Paired events**: Events that denote the beginning and end of an operation
+- **Hook callback**: A function that receives a strongly-typed event argument and performs some action in response
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+- All hook events have a suffix of `Event`
+- Paired events follow the naming convention of `Before{Item}Event` and `After{Item}Event`
+- Pre actions in the name. i.e. prefer `BeforeToolCallEvent` over `BeforeToolEvent`.

+## Paired Events
+
+- The final event in a pair returns `True` for `should_reverse_callbacks`
+- For every `Before` event there is a corresponding `After` event, even if an exception occurs
+
+## Writable Properties
+
+For events with writable properties, those values are re-read after invoking the hook callbacks and used in subsequent processing. For example, `BeforeToolEvent.selected_tool` is writable - after invoking the callback for `BeforeToolEvent`, the `selected_tool` takes effect for the tool call.

+to connected nodes.
+
+Key Features:
+- Agents and MultiAgentBase instances (Swarm, Graph, etc.) as graph nodes
+- Deterministic execution based on dependency resolution
+- Output propagation along edges
+- Support for cyclic graphs (feedback loops)
+- Clear dependency management
+- Supports nested graphs (Graph as a node in another Graph)

+"""Tool decorator for SDK.
+
+This module provides the @tool decorator that transforms Python functions into SDK Agent tools with automatic metadata
+extraction and validation.
+
+The @tool decorator performs several functions:
+
+1. Extracts function metadata (name, description, parameters) from docstrings and type hints
+2. Generates a JSON schema for input validation
+3. Handles two different calling patterns:
+   - Standard function calls (func(arg1, arg2))
+   - Tool use calls (agent.my_tool(param1="hello", param2=123))
+4. Provides error handling and result formatting
+5. Works with both standalone functions and class methods
+
+Example:
+    ```python
+    from strands import Agent, tool
+
+    @tool
+    def my_tool(param1: str, param2: int = 42) -> dict:
+        '''
+        Tool description - explain what it does.
+
+        #Args:
+            param1: Description of first parameter.
+            param2: Description of second parameter (default: 42).
+
+        #Returns:
+            A dictionary with the results.
+        '''

+        Work with agent memories - create, search, retrieve, list, and manage memory records.
+
+        This tool helps agents store and access memories, allowing them to remember important
+        information across conversations and interactions.
+
+        Key Capabilities:
+        - Store new memories (text conversations or structured data)
+        - Search for memories using semantic search
+        - Browse and list all stored memories
+        - Retrieve specific memories by ID
+        - Delete unwanted memories
+
+        Supported Actions:
+        -----------------
+        Memory Management:
+        - record: Store a new memory (conversation or data)
+          Use this when you need to save information for later recall.
+
+        - retrieve: Find relevant memories using semantic search
+          Use this when searching for specific information in memories.
+          This is the best action for queries like "find memories about X" or "search for memories related to Y".
+
+        - list: Browse all stored memories
+          Use this to see all available memories without filtering.
+          This is useful for getting an overview of what's been stored.
+
+        - get: Fetch a specific memory by ID
+          Use this when you already know the exact memory ID.
+
+        - delete: Remove a specific memory
+          Use this to delete memories that are no longer needed.
+
+        Args:
+            action: The memory operation to perform (one of: "record", "retrieve", "list", "get", "delete")
+            content: For record action: Simple text string to store as a memory
+                     Example: "User prefers vegetarian pizza with extra cheese"
+            query: Search terms for finding relevant memories (required for retrieve action)
+            memory_record_id: ID of a specific memory (required for get and delete actions)

+    "description": """Create and manage graphs of agents with different topologies and communication patterns.
+
+Key Features:
+1. Multiple topology support (star, mesh, hierarchical)
+2. Dynamic message routing
+3. Parallel agent execution
+4. Real-time status monitoring
+5. Flexible agent configuration
+
+Example Usage:
+
+1. Create a new agent graph:
+{
+    "action": "create",
+    "graph_id": "analysis_graph",
+    "topology": {
+        "type": "star",
+        "nodes": [
+            {
+                "id": "central",
+                "role": "coordinator",
+                "system_prompt": "You are the central coordinator."
+            },
+            {
+                "id": "agent1",
+                "role": "analyzer",
+                "system_prompt": "You are a data analyzer."
+            }
+        ],
+        "edges": [
+            {"from": "central", "to": "agent1"}
+        ]
+    }
+}
+
+2. Send a message:
+{
+    "action": "message",
+    "graph_id": "analysis_graph",
+    "message": {
+        "target": "agent1",
+        "content": "Analyze this data pattern..."
+    }
+}
+
+3. Check graph status:
+{
+    "action": "status",
+    "graph_id": "analysis_graph"
+}
+
+4. List all graphs:
+{
+    "action": "list"
+}
+
+5. Stop a graph:
+{
+    "action": "stop",
+    "graph_id": "analysis_graph"
+}
+
+Topology Types:
+- star: Central node with radiating connections
+- mesh: All nodes connected to each other
+- hierarchical: Tree-like structure with parent-child relationships
+
+Node Configuration:
+- id: Unique identifier for the node
+- role: Function/purpose of the agent
+- system_prompt: Agent's system instructions""",

+Tool for web scraping, searching, and data extraction using Bright Data for Strands Agents
+
+This module provides comprehensive web scraping and data extraction capabilities using
+Bright Data as the backend. It handles all aspects of web scraping with a user-friendly
+interface and proper error handling.
+
+Key Features:
+------------
+1. Web Scraping:
+   • scrape_as_markdown: Scrape webpage content and return as Markdown
+   • get_screenshot: Take screenshots of webpages
+   • search_engine: Perform search queries using various search engines
+   • web_data_feed: Extract structured data from websites like LinkedIn, Amazon, Instagram, etc.
+
+2. Advanced Capabilities:
+   • Support for multiple search engines (Google, Bing, Yandex)
+   • Advanced search parameters including language, location, device type
+   • Extracting structured data from various websites
+   • Screenshot generation for web pages
+
+3. Error Handling:
+   • Graceful API error handling
+   • Clear error messages
+   • Timeout management for web_data_feed
+
+Setup Requirements:
+------------------
+1. Create a Bright Data account
+2. Create a Web Unlocker zone in your Bright Data control panel
+3. Set environment variables in your .env file:
+   BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here  # Required
+   BRIGHTDATA_ZONE=your_zone_name_here    # Optional, defaults to "web_unlocker1"
+4. DO NOT use Datacenter/Residential proxy zones - they will be blocked
+
+Example .env configuration:
+   BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY=brd_abc123xyz789
+   BRIGHTDATA_ZONE=web_unlocker_12345
+
+Usage Examples:
+--------------
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import bright_data
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[bright_data])
+
+# Scrape webpage as markdown
+agent.tool.bright_data(
+    action="scrape_as_markdown",
+    url="https://example.com"
+)
+
+# Search using Google
+agent.tool.bright_data(
+    action="search_engine",
+    query="climate change solutions",
+    engine="google",
+    country_code="us",
+    language="en"
+)
+
+# Extract product data from Amazon
+agent.tool.bright_data(
+    action="web_data_feed",
+    source_type="amazon_product",
+    url="https://www.amazon.com/product-url"
+)
+```

+"""
+Calculator tool powered by SymPy for comprehensive mathematical operations.
+
+This module provides a powerful mathematical calculation engine built on SymPy
+that can handle everything from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus, equation solving,
+and matrix operations. It's designed to provide formatted, precise results with
+proper error handling and robust type conversion.
+
+Key Features:
+1. Expression Evaluation:
+   • Basic arithmetic operations (addition, multiplication, etc.)
+   • Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.)
+   • Logarithmic operations and special constants (e, pi)
+   • Complex number handling with proper formatting
+
+2. Specialized Mathematical Operations:
+   • Equation solving (single equations and systems)
+   • Differentiation (single and higher-order derivatives)
+   • Integration (indefinite integrals)
+   • Limit calculation (at specified points or infinity)
+   • Series expansions (Taylor and Laurent series)
+   • Matrix operations (determinants, multiplication, etc.)
+
+3. Display and Formatting:
+   • Configurable precision for numeric results
+   • Scientific notation support for large/small numbers
+   • Symbolic results when appropriate
+   • Rich formatted output with tables and panels
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import calculator
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[calculator])
+
+# Basic arithmetic evaluation
+agent.tool.calculator(expression="2 * sin(pi/4) + log(e**2)")
+
+# Equation solving
+agent.tool.calculator(expression="x**2 + 2*x + 1", mode="solve")
+
+# Calculate derivative
+agent.tool.calculator(
+    expression="sin(x)",
+    mode="derive",
+    wrt="x",
+    order=2
+)
+
+# Calculate integral
+agent.tool.calculator(
+    expression="x**2 + 2*x",
+    mode="integrate",
+    wrt="x"
+)
+```
+
+See the calculator function docstring for more details on available modes and parameters.

+    Calculator powered by SymPy for comprehensive mathematical operations.
+
+    This tool provides advanced mathematical functionality through multiple operation modes,
+    including expression evaluation, equation solving, calculus operations (derivatives, integrals),
+    limits, series expansions, and matrix operations. Results are formatted with appropriate
+    precision and can be displayed in scientific notation when needed.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The function parses the mathematical expression using SymPy's parser
+    2. Based on the selected mode, it routes the expression to the appropriate handler
+    3. Variables and constants are substituted with their values when provided
+    4. The expression is evaluated symbolically and/or numerically as appropriate
+    5. Results are formatted based on precision preferences and value magnitude
+    6. Rich output is generated with operation details and formatted results
+
+    Operation Modes:
+    --------------
+    - evaluate: Calculate the value of a mathematical expression
+    - solve: Find solutions to an equation or system of equations
+    - derive: Calculate derivatives of an expression
+    - integrate: Find the indefinite integral of an expression
+    - limit: Evaluate the limit of an expression at a point
+    - series: Generate series expansion of an expression
+    - matrix: Perform matrix operations
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Basic calculations: Evaluating arithmetic expressions
+    - Equation solving: Finding roots of polynomials or systems of equations
+    - Calculus: Computing derivatives and integrals for analysis
+    - Engineering analysis: Working with scientific notations and constants
+    - Mathematics education: Visualizing step-by-step solutions
+    - Data science: Matrix operations and statistical calculations
+
+    Args:
+        expression: The mathematical expression to evaluate, such as "2 + 2 * 3",
+            "x**2 + 2*x + 1", or "sin(pi/2)". For matrix operations, use array
+            notation like "[[1, 2], [3, 4]]".
+        mode: The calculation mode to use. Options are:
+            - "evaluate": Compute the value of the expression (default)
+            - "solve": Solve an equation or system of equations
+            - "derive": Calculate the derivative of an expression
+            - "integrate": Find the indefinite integral of an expression
+            - "limit": Calculate the limit of an expression at a point
+            - "series": Generate a series expansion of an expression
+            - "matrix": Perform matrix operations
+        precision: Number of decimal places for the result (default: 10).
+            Higher values provide more precise output but may impact performance.
+        scientific: Whether to use scientific notation for numbers (default: False).
+            When True, formats large and small numbers using scientific notation.
+        force_numeric: Force numeric evaluation of symbolic expressions (default: False).
+            When True, tries to convert symbolic results to numeric values.
+        variables: Optional dictionary of variable names and their values to substitute
+            in the expression, e.g., {"a": 1, "b": 2}.
+        wrt: Variable to differentiate or integrate with respect to (required for
+            "derive" and "integrate" modes).
+        point: Point at which to evaluate a limit (required for "limit" mode).
+            Use "oo" for infinity.
+        order: Order of derivative or series expansion (optional for "derive" and
+            "series" modes, default is 1 for derivatives and 5 for series).
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Result: <calculated_result>"}]
+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns the calculation result with appropriate formatting
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong during calculation
+
+    Notes:
+        - For equation solving, set the expression equal to zero implicitly (x**2 + 1 means x**2 + 1 = 0)
+        - Use 'pi' and 'e' for mathematical constants
+        - The 'wrt' parameter is required for differentiation and integration
+        - Matrix expressions use Python-like syntax: [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
+        - Precision control impacts display only, internal calculations use higher precision
+        - Symbolic results are returned when possible unless force_numeric=True

+
+    This tool enables natural language conversations about video content using

+    of videos to answer questions, provide descriptions, and extract insights.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Takes either an existing video_id or uploads a new video from video_path
+    2. Sends your prompt to TwelveLabs' Pegasus model
+    3. The model analyzes the video content (visual and/or audio)
+    4. Returns a natural language response based on the video understanding
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Summarizing video content
+    - Answering specific questions about videos
+    - Describing actions and events in videos
+    - Extracting dialogue or audio information
+    - Identifying objects, people, or scenes
+    - Creating video transcripts or captions

+            video_path: Path to video file to upload (optional)
+            index_id: Index ID for uploads (default: from TWELVELABS_PEGASUS_INDEX_ID env)
+            temperature: Response randomness 0.0-1.0 (default: 0.7)
+            engine_options: Analysis modes ['visual', 'audio'] (default: both)
+
+    Returns:
+        Dictionary containing status and Pegasus response:
+        {
+            "toolUseId": "unique_id",

+
+        Success: Returns the model's natural language response
+        Error: Returns information about what went wrong
+
+    Notes:
+        - Requires TWELVELABS_API_KEY environment variable
+        - For video uploads, index_id is required (or set via TWELVELABS_PEGASUS_INDEX_ID env)
+        - Uploaded videos are cached to avoid re-uploading the same file
+        - Visual mode analyzes what's seen in the video

+        Code Interpreter tool for executing code in isolated sandbox environments.
+
+        This tool provides a comprehensive code execution platform that supports multiple programming
+        languages with persistent session management, file operations, and shell command execution. 
+        Built on the Bedrock AgentCore Code Sandbox platform, it offers secure, isolated environments 
+        for code execution with full lifecycle management.
+
+        Key Features:
+        1. Multi-Language Support:
+           The tool supports the following programming languages: {supported_languages_list}
+           • Full standard library access for each supported language
+           • Runtime environment appropriate for each language
+           • Shell command execution for system operations
+
+        2. Session Management:
+           • Create named, persistent sessions for stateful code execution
+           • List and manage multiple concurrent sessions
+           • Automatic session cleanup and resource management
+           • Session isolation for security and resource separation
+
+        3. File System Operations:
+           • Read files from the sandbox environment
+           • Write multiple files with custom content
+           • List directory contents and navigate file structures
+           • Remove files and manage sandbox storage
+
+        4. Advanced Execution Features:
+           • Context preservation across code executions within sessions
+           • Optional context clearing for fresh execution environments
+           • Real-time output capture and error handling
+           • Support for long-running processes and interactive code
+
+        How It Works:
+        ------------
+        1. The tool accepts structured action inputs defining the operation type
+        2. Sessions are created on-demand with isolated sandbox environments
+        3. Code is executed within the Bedrock AgentCore platform with full runtime support
+        4. Results, outputs, and errors are captured and returned in structured format
+        5. File operations interact directly with the sandbox file system
+        6. Platform lifecycle is managed automatically with cleanup on completion
+
+        Operation Types:
+        --------------
+        - initSession: Create a new isolated code execution session
+        - listLocalSessions: View all active sessions and their status
+        - executeCode: Run code in a specified programming language
+        - executeCommand: Execute shell commands in the sandbox
+        - readFiles: Read file contents from the sandbox file system
+        - writeFiles: Create or update files in the sandbox
+        - listFiles: Browse directory contents and file structures
+        - removeFiles: Delete files from the sandbox environment
+
+        Common Usage Scenarios:
+        ---------------------
+        - Data analysis: Execute Python scripts for data processing and visualization
+        - Web development: Run JavaScript/TypeScript for frontend/backend development
+        - System administration: Execute shell commands for environment setup
+        - File processing: Read, transform, and write files programmatically
+        - Educational coding: Provide safe environments for learning and experimentation
+        - CI/CD workflows: Execute build scripts and deployment commands
+        - API testing: Run code to test external services and APIs
+
+        Usage with Strands Agent:

+"""Editor tool designed to do changes iteratively on multiple files.
+
+This module provides a comprehensive file and code editor with rich output formatting,
+syntax highlighting, and intelligent text manipulation capabilities. It's designed for
+performing iterative changes across multiple files while maintaining a clean interface
+and proper error handling.
+
+Key Features:
+
+1. Rich Text Display:
+   • Syntax highlighting (Python, JavaScript, Java, HTML, etc.)
+   • Line numbering and code formatting
+   • Interactive directory trees with icons
+   • Beautiful console output with panels and tables
+
+2. File Operations:
+   • View: Smart file content display with syntax highlighting
+   • Create: New file creation with proper directory handling
+   • Replace: Precise string and pattern-based replacement
+   • Insert: Smart line finding and content insertion
+   • Undo: Automatic backup and restore capability
+
+3. Smart Features:
+   • Content History: Caches file contents to reduce reads
+   • Pattern Matching: Regex-based replacements
+   • Smart Line Finding: Context-aware line location
+   • Fuzzy Search: Flexible text matching
+
+4. Safety Features:
+   • Automatic backup creation before modifications
+   • Content caching for performance
+   • Error prevention and validation
+   • One-step undo functionality
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import editor
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[editor])
+
+# View a file with syntax highlighting
+agent.tool.editor(command="view", path="/path/to/file.py")
+
+# Create a new file
+agent.tool.editor(command="create", path="/path/to/file.txt", file_text="Hello World")
+
+# Replace a string in a file
+agent.tool.editor(
+    command="str_replace",
+    path="/path/to/file.py",
+    old_str="old text",
+    new_str="new text"
+)
+
+# Insert text after a line (by number or search text)
+agent.tool.editor(
+    command="insert",
+    path="/path/to/file.py",
+    insert_line="def my_function",  # Can be line number or search text
+    new_str="    # This is a new comment"
+)
+
+# Undo the most recent change
+agent.tool.editor(command="undo_edit", path="/path/to/file.py")
+```
+
+See the editor function docstring for more details on available commands and parameters.

+    creating, modifying, and searching files with rich output formatting. It features
+    syntax highlighting, smart line finding, and automatic backups for safety.
+
+    IMPORTANT ERROR PREVENTION:
+    1. Required Parameters:
+       • file_text: REQUIRED for 'create' command - content of file to create
+       • search_text: REQUIRED for 'find_line' command - text to search
+       • insert command: BOTH new_str AND insert_line REQUIRED
+
+    2. Command-Specific Requirements:
+       • create: Must provide file_text, file_text is required for create command
+       • str_replace: Both old_str and new_str are required for str_replace command
+       • pattern_replace: Both pattern and new_str required
+       • insert: Both new_str and insert_line required
+       • find_line: search_text required
+
+    3. Path Handling:
+       • Use absolute paths (e.g., /Users/name/file.txt)
+       • Or user-relative paths (~/folder/file.txt)

+        file_text: Required parameter of `create` command, with the content of the file to be created.
+        insert_line: Required parameter of `insert` command. The `new_str` will be inserted AFTER
+                the line `insert_line` of `path`. Can be a line number or search text.
+        new_str: Required parameter containing the new string for `str_replace`,
+                `pattern_replace` or `insert` commands.
+        old_str: Required parameter of `str_replace` command containing the exact string to replace.
+        pattern: Required parameter of `pattern_replace` command containing the regex pattern to match.
+        search_text: Text to search for in `find_line` command. Supports fuzzy matching.
+        fuzzy: Enable fuzzy matching for `find_line` command.
+        view_range: Optional parameter of `view` command. Line range to show [start, end].
+                Supports negative indices.
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Response message"}]
+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns details about the operation performed
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong
+
+    Examples:
+        1. View a file:
+           editor(command="view", path="/path/to/file.py")
+
+        2. Create a new file:
+           editor(command="create", path="/path/to/file.txt", file_text="Hello World")
+
+        3. Replace text:
+           editor(command="str_replace", path="/path/to/file.py", old_str="old", new_str="new")
+
+        4. Insert after line 10:
+           editor(command="insert", path="/path/to/file.py", insert_line=10, new_str="# New line")
+
+        5. Insert after a specific text:
+           editor(command="insert", path="/path/to/file.py", insert_line="def main", new_str="    # Comment")
+
+        6. Find a line containing text:

+"""
+Runtime environment variable management tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides comprehensive functionality for managing environment variables
+at runtime, allowing you to list, get, set, delete, and validate environment variables
+with appropriate security measures and clear formatting. It's designed to provide
+both interactive usage with rich formatting and programmatic access with structured returns.
+
+Key Features:
+
+1. Variable Management:
+   • Get all environment variables
+   • Set/update variables with validation
+   • Delete variables safely
+   • Filter by prefix
+   • Protect system variables
+
+2. Security Features:
+   • Protected variables list
+   • Value masking for sensitive data
+   • Change confirmation
+   • Variable validation
+   • Risk level indicators
+
+3. Rich Output:
+   • Colorized tables with clear formatting
+   • Visual indicators for protected variables
+   • Operation previews with risk assessment
+   • Success/error status panels
+   • Variable categorization
+
+4. Smart Filtering:
+   • Prefix-based filtering
+   • Sensitive value detection
+   • Protected variable identification
+   • Value type recognition
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import environment
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[environment])
+
+# List all environment variables
+agent.tool.environment(action="list")
+
+# List variables with specific prefix
+agent.tool.environment(action="list", prefix="AWS_")
+
+# Get a specific variable value
+agent.tool.environment(action="get", name="PATH")
+
+# Set a variable (with confirmation prompt)
+agent.tool.environment(action="set", name="MY_SETTING", value="new_value")
+
+# Delete a variable (with confirmation prompt)
+agent.tool.environment(action="delete", name="TEMP_VAR")
+```
+
+See the environment function docstring for more details on available actions and parameters.

+    Environment variable management tool for listing, getting, setting, and deleting environment variables.
+
+    This function provides a comprehensive interface for managing runtime environment variables
+    with rich output formatting, security features, and proper error handling. It supports
+    multiple actions for different environment variable operations, each with appropriate
+    validation and confirmation steps.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The function processes the requested action (list, get, set, delete, validate)
+    2. For destructive actions, it requires user confirmation unless in BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT mode
+    3. Protected system variables are identified and cannot be modified
+    4. Sensitive values (tokens, passwords, etc.) are automatically masked
+    5. Rich output formatting provides clear visual feedback on operations
+    6. All operations return structured results for both human and programmatic use
+
+    Available Actions:
+    ---------------
+    - list: Display all environment variables or filter by prefix
+    - get: Retrieve and display a specific variable value
+    - set: Create or update a variable value (with confirmation)
+    - delete: Remove a variable from the environment (with confirmation)
+    - validate: Check if a variable exists and validate its format
+
+    Security Features:
+    ---------------
+    - Protected system variables cannot be modified
+    - Sensitive values are masked in output by default
+    - Destructive actions require explicit confirmation
+    - Clear risk level indicators for all operations
+    - BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT mode controls for testing and automation
+
+    Args:
+        tool: The ToolUse object containing the action and parameters
+            tool["input"]["action"]: The action to perform (required)
+            tool["input"]["name"]: Environment variable name (for get/set/delete/validate)
+            tool["input"]["value"]: Value to set (for set action)
+            tool["input"]["prefix"]: Filter prefix for list action
+            tool["input"]["masked"]: Whether to mask sensitive values (default: True)
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments (unused)
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult: Dictionary containing:
+            - toolUseId: The ID of the tool usage
+            - status: "success" or "error"
+            - content: List of content objects with results or error messages
+
+    Notes:
+        - The ENV var "BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT" can be set to "true" to bypass confirmation prompts
+        - Protected variables include PATH, PYTHONPATH, STRANDS_HOME, SHELL, USER, HOME
+        - Sensitive variables are detected by keywords in their names (TOKEN, SECRET, etc.)
+        - For security reasons, values of sensitive variables are masked in output

+Exa Search and Contents tools for intelligent web search and content processing.
+
+This module provides access to Exa's API, which offers neural search capabilities optimized for LLMs and AI agents.
+The "auto" mode intelligently combines neural embeddings-based search with traditional keyword search for best results.
+
+Key Features:
+- Auto mode that intelligently selects the best search approach (default)
+- Neural and keyword search capabilities
+- Advanced content filtering and domain management
+- Full page content extraction with summaries
+- Support for general web search, company info, news, PDFs, GitHub repos, and more
+- Date range filtering and domain management
+- Live crawling with fallback options
+- Subpage crawling and content extraction
+- Structured output with JSON schemas
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import exa
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[exa])
+
+# Basic search (auto mode is default and recommended)
+result = agent.tool.exa_search(query="Best project management tools", text=True)
+
+# Get contents from specific URLs
+result = agent.tool.exa_get_contents(urls=["https://strandsagents.com/"], text=True)
+```
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Environment Variables:
+- EXA_API_KEY: Your Exa API key (required)
+
+You can get your Exa API key at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys

+        moderation: Enable content moderation to filter unsafe content
+        text: Include full page text - True/False or object with maxCharacters and includeHtmlTags.
+            Use maxCharacters to control text length instead of relying on default limits
+        summary: Generate summaries - object with query and optional schema for structured output
+        livecrawl: Live crawling options - "never", "fallback", "always", "preferred"
+        livecrawl_timeout: Timeout for live crawling in milliseconds (default 10000)
+        subpages: Number of subpages to crawl from each result

+
+4. Context-Aware Features:
+   • Smart line finding with context
+   • Highlighted search results
+   • Diff visualization
+   • File metadata extraction
+   • Version control integration
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import file_read
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[file_read])
+
+# View file content with syntax highlighting
+agent.tool.file_read(path="/path/to/file.py", mode="view")
+
+# List files matching a pattern
+agent.tool.file_read(path="/path/to/project/*.py", mode="find")
+
+# Read specific line ranges
+agent.tool.file_read(
+    path="/path/to/file.txt",
+    mode="lines",
+    start_line=10,
+    end_line=20
+)
+
+# Search for patterns
+agent.tool.file_read(
+    path="/path/to/file.txt",
+    mode="search",
+    search_pattern="function",
+    context_lines=3
+)
+
+# Compare files
+agent.tool.file_read(
+    path="/path/to/file1.txt",
+    mode="diff",
+    comparison_path="/path/to/file2.txt"
+)
+
+# View file history
+agent.tool.file_read(
+    path="/path/to/file.py",
+    mode="time_machine",
+    git_history=True,
+    num_revisions=5
+)
+
+# Generate document blocks for Bedrock
+agent.tool.file_read(
+    path="/path/to/document.pdf",
+    mode="document"
+)
+```
+
+See the file_read function docstring for more details on modes and parameters.

+    Advanced file reading tool with multiple specialized reading modes.
+
+    This tool provides comprehensive file reading capabilities with support for
+    multiple specialized modes, from simple content viewing to complex file operations
+    like diff comparisons and version history analysis. It handles multiple file paths,
+    pattern matching, and can generate document blocks for Bedrock compatibility.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Parses the input parameters to determine the requested mode
+    2. Validates the required parameters for that mode
+    3. Finds all files matching the provided path patterns
+    4. Processes each file according to the requested mode
+    5. Formats the results with rich output and appropriate structure
+    6. Returns the results or appropriate error messages
+
+    Reading Modes:
+    ------------
+    - find: Lists all files matching the pattern (supports wildcards)
+    - view: Shows full file contents with syntax highlighting
+    - lines: Shows specific line ranges from files
+    - chunk: Reads binary chunks from files at specific offsets
+    - search: Searches for patterns with context highlighting
+    - stats: Displays file statistics like size and line count
+    - preview: Shows a quick preview of file content
+    - diff: Compares two files or directories and shows differences
+    - time_machine: Shows version history from git or filesystem
+    - document: Generates Bedrock document blocks for file content
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    --------------------
+    - Reading code files with syntax highlighting
+    - Searching for specific patterns in logs or source code
+    - Comparing different versions of files or directories
+    - Analyzing file metadata and statistics
+    - Reading only specific parts of large files
+    - Examining file version history
+    - Preparing file content for Bedrock document processing
+
+    Args:
+        tool: ToolUse object containing the following input fields:
+            - path: Path(s) to file(s). For multiple files, use comma-separated list.
+              Can include wildcards like '*.py' or directories.
+            - mode: Reading mode to use (required)
+            - Additional parameters specific to each mode
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "toolUseId": "<tool_use_id>",
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Response message"}]
+        }
+
+    Notes:
+        - Document mode returns document blocks for Bedrock compatibility
+        - Multiple files can be processed in a single call with comma-separated paths
+        - The tool supports various wildcard patterns for matching multiple files
+        - Document format is auto-detected from file extension or can be specified
+        - For diff mode, both paths must be either files or directories

+"""
+File writing tool for Strands Agent with interactive confirmation.
+
+This module provides a secure file writing capability with rich output formatting,
+directory creation, and user confirmation. It's designed to safely write content to
+files while providing clear feedback and requiring explicit confirmation for writes
+in non-development environments.
+
+Key Features:
+
+1. Interactive Confirmation:
+   • User approval required before write operations
+   • Syntax-highlighted preview of content to be written
+   • Cancellation with custom reason tracking
+
+2. Rich Output Display:
+   • Syntax highlighting based on file type
+   • Formatted panels for operation information
+   • Color-coded status messages
+   • Clear success and error indicators
+
+3. Safety Features:
+   • Directory creation if parent directories don't exist
+   • Development mode toggle (BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT environment variable)
+   • Write operation confirmation dialog
+   • Detailed error reporting
+
+4. File Management:
+   • Automatic file type detection
+   • Proper encoding handling
+   • Parent directory creation
+   • Character count reporting
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import file_write
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[file_write])
+
+# Write to a file with user confirmation
+agent.tool.file_write(
+    path="/path/to/file.txt",
+    content="Hello World!"
+)
+
+# Write to a file with code syntax highlighting
+agent.tool.file_write(
+    path="/path/to/script.py",
+    content="def hello():\n    print('Hello world!')"
+)
+```
+
+See the file_write function docstring for more details on usage options and parameters.

+    of the content to be written with syntax highlighting based on the file type,
+    and requires explicit user confirmation in non-development environments.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Expands the user path to handle tilde (~) in paths
+    2. Displays file information and content to be written in formatted panels
+    3. In non-development environments, requests user confirmation before writing
+    4. Creates any necessary parent directories if they don't exist
+    5. Writes the content to the file with proper encoding
+    6. Provides rich visual feedback on operation success or failure
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Creating configuration files from templates
+    - Saving generated code to files
+    - Writing logs or output data to specific locations
+    - Creating or updating documentation files
+    - Saving user-specific settings or preferences
+
+    Args:
+        tool: ToolUse object containing the following input fields:
+            - path: The path to the file to write. User paths with tilde (~)
+                    are automatically expanded.
+            - content: The content to write to the file.
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments (not used currently)

+        }
+
+    Notes:
+        - The BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT environment variable can be set to "true" to bypass the confirmation step
+        - Parent directories are automatically created if they don't exist
+        - File content is previewed with syntax highlighting based on file extension

+agent = Agent(tools=[generate_image])
+
+# Basic usage with default parameters
+agent.tool.generate_image(prompt="A steampunk robot playing chess")
+
+# Advanced usage with Stable Diffusion
+agent.tool.generate_image(
+    prompt="A futuristic city with flying cars",
+    model_id="stability.sd3-5-large-v1:0",
+    aspect_ratio="5:4",
+    output_format="jpeg",
+    negative_prompt="bad lighting, harsh lighting, abstract, surreal, twisted, multiple levels",
+)
+
+# Using another Stable Diffusion model

+    Generate images from text prompts using Stable Diffusion models via Amazon Bedrock.
+
+    This function transforms textual descriptions into high-quality images using
+    image generation models available through Amazon Bedrock. It provides extensive
+    customization options and handles the complete process from API interaction to
+    image storage and result formatting.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Extracts and validates parameters from the tool input
+    2. Configures the request payload with appropriate parameters based on model type
+    3. Invokes the Bedrock image generation model through AWS SDK
+    4. Processes the response to extract the base64-encoded image
+    5. Creates an appropriate filename based on the prompt content
+    6. Saves the image to a local output directory
+    7. Returns a success response with both text description and rendered image
+
+    Generation Parameters:
+    --------------------
+    - prompt: The textual description of the desired image
+    - model_id: Specific model to use (defaults to stability.stable-image-core-v1:1)
+    - seed: Controls randomness for reproducible results
+    - aspect_ratio: Controls the aspect ratio of the generated image
+    - output_format: Specifies the format of the output image (e.g., png or jpeg)
+    - negative_prompt: Keywords of what you do not wish to see in the output image
+
+
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Creating illustrations for documents or presentations
+    - Generating visual concepts for design projects
+    - Visualizing scenes or characters for creative writing
+    - Producing custom artwork based on specific descriptions
+    - Testing visual ideas before commissioning real artwork
+
+    Args:
+        tool: ToolUse object containing the parameters for image generation.
+            - prompt: The text prompt describing the desired image.
+            - model_id: Optional model identifier.
+            - Additional parameters specific to the chosen model type.
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments (unused).
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult: A dictionary containing the result status and content:
+            - On success: Contains a text message with the saved image path and the
+              rendered image in base64 format.
+            - On failure: Contains an error message describing what went wrong.
+
+    Notes:
+        - Image files are saved to an "output" directory in the current working directory
+        - Filenames are generated based on the first few words of the prompt
+        - Duplicate filenames are handled by appending an incrementing number
+        - The function requires AWS credentials with Bedrock permissions
+        - For best results, provide detailed, descriptive prompts

+Image generation tool for Strands Agent using Stability Platform API.
+
+This module provides functionality to generate high-quality images using Stability AI's
+latest models including SD3.5, Stable Image Ultra, and Stable Image Core through the
+Stability Platform API.
+
+This means agents can create images in a cost effective way, using state of the art models.
+
+Key Features:
+
+1. Image Generation:
+   • Text-to-image and image-to-image conversion
+   • Support for multiple Stability AI models
+   • Customizable generation parameters (seed, cfg_scale, aspect_ratio)
+   • Style preset selection for consistent aesthetics
+   • Flexible output formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP)
+
+2. Response Format:
+   • Rich response with both text and image data
+   • Returns finish reason for generation, to allow identification of requests that have been content moderated
+   • Direct image data for immediate display
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+import os
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import generate_image_stability
+
+
+# Set your API key and model as environment variables
+os.environ['STABILITY_API_KEY'] = 'sk-xxx'
+os.environ['STABILITY_MODEL_ID'] = 'stability.stable-image-ultra-v1:1'
+
+If you want to save the generated images to disk, set the environment variable `STABILITY_OUTPUT_DIR`
+to a local directory where the images should be saved.
+
+If no model is selected, the tool defaults to 'stability.stable-image-core-v1:1'.
+
+# Create agent with the tool
+agent = Agent(tools=[generate_image_stability])
+
+# Basic usage - agent only needs to provide the prompt
+agent("Generate an image of a futuristic robot in a cyberpunk city")
+
+# Advanced usage with custom parameters
+agent.tool.generate_image_stability(
+    prompt="A serene mountain landscape",
+    aspect_ratio="16:9",
+    style_preset="photographic",
+    cfg_scale=7.0,

+"""Graph tool using new Strands SDK Graph implementation.
+
+This module provides functionality to create and manage multi-agent systems
+using the new Strands SDK Graph implementation. Unlike the old message-passing approach,
+this uses deterministic DAG execution with output propagation.
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from graph import graph
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[graph])
+
+# Create a agent graph
+result = agent.tool.graph(
+    action="create",
+    graph_id="analysis_pipeline",
+    topology={
+        "nodes": [
+            {
+                "id": "researcher",
+                "role": "researcher",
+                "system_prompt": "You research topics thoroughly.",

+
+    This function provides functionality to create and manage multi-agent systems using
+    the new Strands SDK Graph implementation. Unlike the old message-passing approach,
+    this uses deterministic DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) execution with output propagation.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Creates graphs where agents are nodes with dependency relationships
+    2. Execution follows topological order based on dependencies
+    3. Output from one agent propagates as input to dependent agents
+    4. Supports conditional routing and parallel execution where possible
+    5. Each agent can use different model providers and configurations
+
+    Key Differences from Old agent_graph:
+    -----------------------------------
+    - **Execution Model**: Task execution vs persistent message-passing
+    - **Communication**: Output propagation vs real-time message queues
+    - **Lifecycle**: Task-based execution vs long-running agent networks
+    - **Architecture**: Uses SDK Graph classes vs custom implementation
+
+    Args:
+        action: Action to perform with the graph.
+            Options: "create", "execute", "status", "list", "delete"
+        graph_id: Unique identifier for the graph (required for most actions).
+        topology: Graph topology definition (required for create).
+            Format: {
+                "nodes": [
+                    {
+                        "id": str,
+                        "role": str,
+                        "system_prompt": str,

+                "edges": [{"from": str, "to": str}, ...],
+                "entry_points": [str, ...] (optional, auto-detected if not provided)
+            }
+        task: Task to execute through the graph (required for execute action).
+        model_provider: Default model provider for all agents in the graph.
+            Individual nodes can override this with their own model_provider.
+            Options: "bedrock", "anthropic", "litellm", "ollama", "openai", etc.
+        model_settings: Default model configuration for all agents.
+            Individual nodes can override this with their own model_settings.
+            Example: {"model_id": "us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0"}
+        tools: Default list of tool names for all agents.
+            Individual nodes can override this with their own tools list.
+        agent: The parent agent (automatically passed by Strands framework).
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Operation result message"}]

+
+    Notes:
+        - Graphs execute tasks deterministically based on DAG structure
+        - Entry points receive the original task; other nodes receive dependency outputs

+        - Execution is task-based rather than persistent like the old agent_graph
+        - Uses the new Strands SDK Graph implementation for reliability and performance

+User handoff tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to hand off control from the agent to the user,
+allowing for human intervention in automated workflows. It's particularly useful for:
+
+1. Getting user confirmation before proceeding with critical actions
+2. Requesting additional information that the agent cannot determine
+3. Allowing users to review and approve agent decisions
+4. Creating interactive workflows where human input is required
+5. Debugging and troubleshooting by pausing execution for user review
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import handoff_to_user
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[handoff_to_user])
+
+# Request user input and continue
+response = agent.tool.handoff_to_user(
+    message="I need your approval to proceed with deleting these files. Type 'yes' to confirm.",
+    breakout_of_loop=False
+)
+
+# Stop execution and hand off to user
+agent.tool.handoff_to_user(
+    message="Task completed. Please review the results and take any necessary follow-up actions.",
+    breakout_of_loop=True
+)
+```
+
+The handoff tool can either pause for user input or completely stop the event loop,
+depending on the breakout_of_loop parameter.

+    Hand off control from the agent to the user for human intervention.
+
+    This tool allows the agent to pause execution and request human input or approval.
+    It can either wait for user input and continue, or completely stop the event loop
+    to hand off control to the user.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Displays a clear indication that the agent is requesting user handoff
+    2. Shows the agent's message to the user (should include context and instructions)
+    3. If breakout_of_loop is True: Sets the stop_event_loop flag to terminate gracefully
+    4. If breakout_of_loop is False: Waits for user input and returns the response
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - User confirmation: Get approval before executing critical operations
+    - Information gathering: Request additional details the agent cannot determine
+    - Decision points: Allow users to choose between multiple options
+    - Review and approval: Pause for user to review agent's work
+    - Interactive workflows: Create human-in-the-loop processes
+    - Debugging: Stop execution for troubleshooting and manual intervention
+
+    Args:
+        tool: The tool use object containing the tool input parameters
+            - message: The message to display to the user. Should include:
+                * Context about what the agent was doing
+                * What the agent needs from the user
+                * Clear instructions on how to respond
+                * Any relevant details for decision making
+            - breakout_of_loop: Whether to stop the event loop after displaying the message.
+                * True: Stop the event loop completely (agent hands off control)
+                * False: Wait for user input and continue with the response (default)
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments
+            - request_state: Dictionary containing the current request state
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult containing:
+            - toolUseId: The unique identifier for this tool use request
+            - status: "success" or "error"
+            - content: List with result text
+                * If breakout_of_loop=True: Confirmation that handoff was initiated
+                * If breakout_of_loop=False: The user's input response
+
+    Examples:
+        # Request user confirmation
+        handoff_to_user({
+            "toolUseId": "123",
+            "input": {
+                "message": "I'm about to delete 5 files. Type 'confirm' to proceed or 'cancel' to stop.",
+                "breakout_of_loop": False
+            }
+        })
+
+        # Complete handoff to user
+        handoff_to_user({
+            "toolUseId": "456",
+            "input": {
+                "message": "Analysis complete. Results saved to report.pdf. Please review and distribute as needed.",
+                "breakout_of_loop": True
+            }
+        })
+
+    Notes:
+        - Always provide clear, actionable messages to users
+        - Use breakout_of_loop=True for final handoffs or when agent work is complete
+        - Use breakout_of_loop=False for mid-workflow user input
+        - The tool handles the technical details of event loop control
+        - This tool only affects the current event loop cycle, not the entire application
+        - The handoff is graceful, allowing current operations to complete

+Image processing tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to read image files from disk and convert them
+into the required format for use with the Converse API in Strands Agent. It supports
+various image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP, with automatic format detection.
+
+Key Features:
+1. Image Processing:
+   • Automatic format detection (PNG, JPEG/JPG, GIF, WebP)
+   • Binary file handling
+   • Error handling for invalid files
+
+2. File Path Handling:
+   • Support for absolute paths
+   • User directory expansion (~/path/to/image.png)
+   • Path validation and error reporting
+
+3. Response Format:
+   • Properly formatted image content for Converse API
+   • Format-specific processing
+   • Binary data conversion
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import image_reader
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[image_reader])
+
+# Basic usage - read an image file
+result = agent.tool.image_reader(image_path="/path/to/image.jpg")
+
+# With user directory path
+result = agent.tool.image_reader(image_path="~/Documents/images/photo.png")

+    Read an image file from disk and prepare it for use with Converse API.
+
+    This function reads image files from the specified path, detects the image format,

+    It handles various image formats and provides appropriate error messages when
+    issues are encountered.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The function expands the provided path (handling ~/ notation)
+    2. It checks if the file exists at the specified path
+    3. The image file is read as binary data
+    4. PIL/Pillow is used to detect the image format

+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Visual analysis: Loading images for AI-based analysis
+    - Document processing: Loading scanned documents for text extraction
+    - Multimodal inputs: Combining image and text inputs for comprehensive tasks
+    - Image verification: Loading images to verify their validity or contents

+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments (not used in this function)
+

+Daily journal management tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to create and manage daily journal entries with
+rich text formatting, including task lists and notes. Journal entries are saved as
+Markdown files in the cwd()/journal/ directory, organized by date.
+
+Journal entries support both regular text notes and task management with checkboxes.
+The tool provides a beautiful rich text interface with panels, tables, and formatting
+to enhance the user experience when working with journal entries.
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import journal
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[journal])
+
+# Write a new journal entry
+agent.tool.journal(
+    action="write",
+    content="Today I worked on implementing the Strands SDK tools."
+)
+
+# Add a task to today's journal
+agent.tool.journal(
+    action="add_task",
+    task="Complete the journal tool documentation"
+)
+
+# Read today's journal
+result = agent.tool.journal(action="read")
+
+# View a list of all journal entries
+entries = agent.tool.journal(action="list")
+
+# Read a specific date's journal
+specific_entry = agent.tool.journal(
+    action="read",
+    date="2023-04-15"
+)

+"""
+Dynamic tool loading functionality for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to dynamically load Python tools at runtime,
+allowing you to extend your agent's capabilities without restarting the application.
+
+Strands automatically hot reloads Python files located in the cwd()/tools/ directory,
+making them instantly available as tools without requiring explicit load_tool calls.
+For tools located elsewhere, you can use this load_tool function.
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import load_tool
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[load_tool])
+
+# Using the load_tool through the agent
+agent.tool.load_tool(
+    name="my_custom_tool",  # The name to register the tool under
+    path="/path/to/tool_file.py"  # Path to the Python file containing the tool
+)
+
+# After loading, you can use the custom tool directly
+agent.tool.my_custom_tool(param1="value", param2="value")
+```
+
+Tool files can be defined using the new, more concise @tool decorator pattern:
+```python
+# cwd()/tools/my_custom_tool.py
+from strands import tool
+
+@tool
+def my_custom_tool(param1: str) -> str:
+    \"\"\"
+    Description of what the tool does.
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of parameter 1
+
+    Returns:
+        str: Description of the return value
+    \"\"\"
+    # Tool implementation here
+    return f"Result: {param1}"
+```
+
+See the load_tool function docstring for more details on the tool file structure requirements.

+    """
+    Dynamically load a Python tool file and register it with the Strands Agent.
+
+    This function allows you to load custom tools at runtime from Python files.
+    The tool file can use either the new @tool decorator approach (recommended)
+    or the traditional TOOL_SPEC dictionary method.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The function validates the provided tool file path exists
+    2. It checks if dynamic tool loading is allowed via environment configuration
+    3. It uses the agent's tool registry to load and register the tool
+    4. Once loaded, the tool becomes available to use like any built-in tool
+    5. The tool can then be called directly on the agent object as agent.tool.tool_name(...)
+
+    Tool Loading Process:
+    -------------------
+    - Expands the path to handle user paths with tilde (~)
+    - Validates that the file exists at the specified path
+    - Uses the tool_registry's load_tool_from_filepath method to:
+      * Parse the Python file
+      * Extract the tool function and metadata
+      * Register the tool with the provided name
+      * Make it available for immediate use
+
+    Common Error Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - File not found: The specified Python file does not exist
+    - Runtime error: Dynamic tool loading is disabled
+    - Import error: The tool file has dependencies that aren't installed
+    - Syntax error: The tool file contains Python syntax errors
+    - Schema error: The tool doesn't conform to expected Strands tool structure
+
+    Recommended Tool File Structure (using @tool decorator):
+    ```python
+    # cwd()/tools/my_custom_tool.py
+    from strands import tool
+
+    @tool
+    def my_custom_tool(param1: str) -> str:
+        \"\"\"
+        Description of what the tool does.
+
+        Args:
+            param1: Description of parameter 1
+
+        Returns:
+            str: Description of the return value
+        \"\"\"
+        # Tool implementation here
+        return f"Result: {param1}"
+    ```
+
+    Alternative Tool File Structure (using TOOL_SPEC):
+    ```python
+    # cwd()/tools/my_custom_tool.py
+    from typing import Any
+    from strands.types.tools import ToolResult, ToolUse
+
+    TOOL_SPEC = {
+        "name": "my_custom_tool",
+        "description": "Description of what the tool does",
+        "inputSchema": {
+            "json": {
+                "type": "object",
+                "properties": {
+                    "param1": {
+                        "type": "string",
+                        "description": "Description of parameter 1"
+                    },
+                    # Additional parameters...
+                },
+                "required": ["param1"]
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    def my_custom_tool(tool: ToolUse, **kwargs: Any) -> ToolResult:
+        # Tool implementation here
+        return {
+            "toolUseId": tool["toolUseId"],
+            "status": "success",
+            "content": [{"text": "Tool execution result"}]
+        }
+    ```
+
+    Args:
+        path: Path to the Python tool file to load. Can be absolute or relative.
+            User paths with tilde (~) are automatically expanded.
+        name: Name of the tool function to register. This is the name that will be
+            used to access the tool through the agent (e.g., agent.tool.name(...)).
+        agent: Optional agent instance. If not provided, the function will attempt to
+            get the current agent from context. For most use cases, this can be left
+            as None and the tool will automatically use the running agent.
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Response message"}]
+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns details about the successfully loaded tool
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong during loading
+
+    Raises:
+        FileNotFoundError: If the specified tool file doesn't exist
+        RuntimeError: If dynamic tool loading is disabled
+        Various exceptions: Depending on the tool file's content and validity
+
+    Notes:
+        - The tool loading can be disabled via STRANDS_DISABLE_LOAD_TOOL=true environment variable
+        - Python files in the cwd()/tools/ directory are automatically hot reloaded without
+          requiring explicit calls to load_tool
+        - When using the load_tool function, ensure your tool files have proper docstrings as they are
+          displayed in the agent's available tools
+        - For security reasons, tool loading might be restricted in production environments
+        - The @tool decorator approach is recommended for new tools as it's more concise and type-safe

+
+This tool provides a high-level interface for dynamically connecting to any MCP server

+
+Key differences from SDK's MCP implementation:
+- This tool enables connections to new MCP servers at runtime
+- Can autonomously discover and load external tools from untrusted sources
+- Tools are loaded into the agent's registry and can be called directly
+- Connections persist across multiple tool invocations
+- Supports multiple concurrent connections to different MCP servers
+
+It leverages the Strands SDK's MCPClient for robust connection management
+and implements a per-operation connection pattern for stability.

+    This is different from the static MCP server configuration in the Strands SDK
+    (see https://github.com/strands-agents/docs/blob/main/docs/user-guide/concepts/tools/mcp-tools.md)
+    which uses pre-configured, trusted MCP servers.
+
+    Supports multiple actions for comprehensive MCP server management:
+    - connect: Establish connection to an MCP server
+    - list_tools: List available tools from a connected server
+    - disconnect: Close connection to an MCP server
+    - call_tool: Directly invoke a tool on a connected server
+    - list_connections: Show all active MCP connections
+    - load_tools: Load MCP tools into agent's tool registry for direct access
+
+    Args:
+        action: The action to perform (connect, list_tools, disconnect, call_tool, list_connections)
+        server_config: Configuration for MCP server connection (optional, can use direct parameters)
+        connection_id: Identifier for the MCP connection
+        tool_name: Name of tool to call (for call_tool action)
+        tool_args: Arguments to pass to tool (for call_tool action)
+        transport: Transport type (stdio, sse, or streamable_http) - can be passed directly instead of in server_config
+        command: Command for stdio transport - can be passed directly
+        args: Arguments for stdio command - can be passed directly
+        env: Environment variables for stdio command - can be passed directly
+        server_url: URL for SSE or streamable_http transport - can be passed directly
+        arguments: Alternative to tool_args for tool arguments
+        headers: HTTP headers for streamable_http transport (optional)
+        timeout: Timeout in seconds for HTTP operations in streamable_http transport (default: 30)
+        sse_read_timeout: SSE read timeout in seconds for streamable_http transport (default: 300)
+        terminate_on_close: Whether to terminate connection on close for streamable_http transport (default: True)
+        auth: Authentication object for streamable_http transport (httpx.Auth compatible)
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict with the result of the operation

+"""
+Tool for managing memories using Mem0 (store, delete, list, get, and retrieve)
+
+This module provides comprehensive memory management capabilities using
+Mem0 as the backend. It handles all aspects of memory management with
+a user-friendly interface and proper error handling.
+
+Key Features:
+------------
+1. Memory Management:
+   • store: Add new memories with automatic ID generation and metadata
+   • delete: Remove existing memories using memory IDs
+   • list: Retrieve all memories for a user or agent
+   • get: Retrieve specific memories by memory ID
+   • retrieve: Perform semantic search across all memories
+
+2. Safety Features:
+   • User confirmation for mutative operations
+   • Content previews before storage
+   • Warning messages before deletion
+   • BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT mode for bypassing confirmations in tests
+
+3. Advanced Capabilities:
+   • Automatic memory ID generation
+   • Structured memory storage with metadata
+   • Semantic search with relevance filtering
+   • Rich output formatting
+   • Support for both user and agent memories
+   • Multiple vector database backends (OpenSearch, Mem0 Platform, FAISS)
+
+4. Error Handling:
+   • Memory ID validation
+   • Parameter validation
+   • Graceful API error handling
+   • Clear error messages
+
+Usage Examples:
+--------------
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import mem0_memory
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[mem0_memory])
+
+# Store memory in Memory
+agent.tool.mem0_memory(
+    action="store",
+    content="Important information to remember",
+    user_id="alex",  # or agent_id="agent1"
+    metadata={"category": "meeting_notes"}
+)
+
+# Retrieve content using semantic search
+agent.tool.mem0_memory(
+    action="retrieve",
+    query="meeting information",
+    user_id="alex"  # or agent_id="agent1"
+)
+
+# List all memories
+agent.tool.mem0_memory(
+    action="list",
+    user_id="alex"  # or agent_id="agent1"
+)
+```

+"""Tool for managing data in Bedrock Knowledge Base (store, delete, list, get, and retrieve)
+
+This module provides comprehensive Knowledge Base management capabilities for
+Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. It handles all aspects of document management with
+a user-friendly interface and proper error handling.
+
+Key Features:
+------------
+1. Content Management:
+   • store: Add new content with automatic ID generation and metadata
+   • delete: Remove existing documents using document IDs
+   • list: Retrieve all documents with optional pagination
+   • get: Retrieve specific documents by document ID
+   • retrieve: Perform semantic search across all documents
+
+2. Data Source Support:
+   • Detects CUSTOM data source types
+   • Falls back to first available data source if no CUSTOM found
+   • Provides clear error messages for unsupported data source types
+   • Currently supports CUSTOM data sources for direct ingestion
+   • S3 and other data source types show clear error messages
+
+3. Safety Features:
+   • User confirmation for mutative operations
+   • Content previews before storage
+   • Warning messages before deletion
+   • BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT mode for bypassing confirmations in tests
+
+4. Advanced Capabilities:
+   • Automatic document ID generation
+   • Structured content storage with metadata
+   • Semantic search with relevance filtering
+   • Rich output formatting
+   • Pagination support
+
+5. Error Handling:
+   • Knowledge Base ID validation
+   • Parameter validation
+   • Data source type detection and validation
+   • Graceful API error handling
+   • Clear error messages
+
+Usage Examples:
+--------------
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools.memory import memory
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[memory])
+
+# Store content in Knowledge Base
+agent.tool.memory(
+    action="store",
+    content="Important information to remember",
+    title="Meeting Notes",
+    STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID="my1234kb"
+)
+
+# Retrieve content using semantic search
+agent.tool.memory(
+    action="retrieve",
+    query="meeting information",
+    min_score=0.7,
+    STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID="my1234kb"
+)
+
+# List all documents
+agent.tool.memory(
+    action="list",
+    max_results=50,
+    STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID="my1234kb"
+)
+```
+
+Notes:
+-----
+Knowledge base IDs must contain only alphanumeric characters (no hyphens or special characters).
+ENV variable STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID can be used instead of passing the ID to each call.

+    Manage content in a Bedrock Knowledge Base (store, delete, list, get, or retrieve).
+
+    This tool provides a user-friendly interface for managing knowledge base content
+    with built-in safety measures for mutative operations. For operations that modify
+    data (store, delete), users will be shown a preview and asked for explicit confirmation
+    before changes are made, unless the BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT environment variable is set to "true".
+
+    Args:
+        action: The action to perform ('store', 'delete', 'list', 'get', or 'retrieve').
+        content: The text content to store in the knowledge base (required for 'store' action).
+        title: Optional title for the content when storing. If not provided, a timestamp will be used.
+        document_id: The ID of the document to delete or get (required for 'delete' and 'get' actions).
+        STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID: Optional knowledge base ID. If not provided, will use the
+            STRANDS_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID env variable. Note: Knowledge base ID must match pattern
+            [0-9a-zA-Z]+ (alphanumeric characters only).
+        max_results: Maximum number of results to return for 'list' or 'retrieve' action (default: 50, max: 1000).
+        next_token: Token for pagination in 'list' or 'retrieve' action (optional).
+        query: The search query for semantic search (required for 'retrieve' action).
+        min_score: Minimum relevance score threshold (0.0-1.0) for 'retrieve' action. Default is 0.4.
+        region_name: Optional AWS region name. If not provided, will use the AWS_REGION env variable.
+            If AWS_REGION is not specified, it will default to us-west-2.
+
+    Returns:
+        A dictionary containing the result of the operation.
+
+    Notes:
+        - Store and delete operations require user confirmation (unless in BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT mode)
+        - Content previews are shown before storage to verify accuracy
+        - Warning messages are provided before document deletion
+        - Operation can be cancelled by the user during confirmation
+        - Retrieve provides semantic search across all documents in the knowledge base
+        - Knowledge base IDs must contain only alphanumeric characters (no hyphens or special characters)

+Nova Reels video generation tool for Amazon Bedrock.
+
+This module provides functionality to create high-quality videos using Amazon Bedrock's
+Nova Reel model. It supports both text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) generation
+with configurable parameters.
+
+Key Features:
+1. Text-to-Video Generation:
+   - Create videos from text descriptions
+   - Configure video quality and resolution
+   - Set custom seeds for deterministic results
+
+2. Image-to-Video Generation:
+   - Transform static images into dynamic videos
+   - Apply text prompts to guide animation style
+   - Support for common image formats
+
+3. Job Management:
+   - Create new video generation jobs
+   - Check job status and progress
+   - List and filter existing jobs
+
+4. Output Control:
+   - Direct output to specified S3 buckets
+   - Standard video format (MP4)
+   - Configurable resolution and FPS
+
+Usage Examples:
+```python
+# Text to Video generation
+agent.tool.nova_reels(
+    action="create",
+    text="A cinematic shot of a giraffe walking through a savanna at sunset",
+    s3_bucket="my-video-output-bucket"
+)
+
+# Image to Video generation with custom parameters
+agent.tool.nova_reels(
+    action="create",
+    text="Transform this forest scene into autumn with falling leaves",
+    image_path="/path/to/forest_image.jpg",
+    s3_bucket="my-video-output-bucket",
+    seed=42,
+    fps=30,
+    dimension="1920x1080"
+)
+
+# Check video generation status
+agent.tool.nova_reels(
+    action="status",
+    invocation_arn="arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:123456789012:async-inference/..."
+)
+
+# List video generation jobs with custom region
+# First set environment variable: export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+agent.tool.nova_reels(
+    action="list",
+    max_results=5,
+    status_filter="Completed"
+)
+```
+
+The videos are generated asynchronously, and completion typically takes 5-10 minutes.
+Results are stored in the specified S3 bucket and can be accessed once the job completes.

+    Create high-quality videos using Amazon Nova Reel.
+
+    This tool interfaces with Amazon Bedrock's Nova Reel model to generate professional-quality
+    videos from text descriptions or input images. It supports text-to-video (T2V) and
+    image-to-video (I2V) generation, as well as job status checking and listing.
+
+    How It Works:
+    -------------
+    1. For video creation:
+       - Configures request parameters based on inputs
+       - Connects to Bedrock Runtime API in configured region
+       - Submits asynchronous job for video generation
+       - Returns job ARN for status tracking
+
+    2. For status checking:
+       - Fetches current status of a specific job by ARN
+       - Returns completion status, error information, or progress details
+
+    3. For job listing:
+       - Retrieves a list of submitted jobs with their status
+       - Supports filtering by job status and pagination
+
+    Operation Modes:
+    --------------
+    1. Create (Text-to-Video):
+       - Requires text prompt and S3 bucket
+       - Configurable fps, and dimension
+       - Optional seed parameter for reproducible results
+
+    2. Create (Image-to-Video):
+       - Requires text prompt, image path, and S3 bucket
+       - Transforms input image according to text prompt
+       - Creates animation from static image with configurable parameters
+
+    3. Status Check:
+       - Requires invocation ARN from a previous create operation
+       - Returns current job status (Completed, InProgress, Failed)
+       - Includes output location when job is complete
+
+    4. Job Listing:
+       - Lists recent video generation jobs
+       - Can filter by job status
+       - Supports limiting results count
+
+    Args:
+        action: Action to perform. Must be one of "create", "status", or "list".
+        text: Text prompt describing the desired video content. Required for "create" action.
+        image_path: Optional path to an image for image-to-video generation.
+            If provided along with text, generates a video that transforms the image according to the text prompt.
+        s3_bucket: S3 bucket name where the generated video will be stored. Required for "create" action.
+        seed: Optional seed integer for video generation. Using the same seed and prompt will
+            produce similar results. Default is controlled by NOVA_REEL_DEFAULT_SEED env variable (default: 0).
+        fps: Frames per second for the generated video. Default is controlled by NOVA_REEL_DEFAULT_FPS
+            env variable (default: 24). Common values are 24, 30, or 60.
+        dimension: Video resolution in "WIDTHxHEIGHT" format. Default is controlled by NOVA_REEL_DEFAULT_DIMENSION
+            env variable (default: "1280x720"). Common values are "1280x720" (720p) or "1920x1080" (1080p).
+        invocation_arn: Required for "status" action. The ARN of the video generation job
+            returned from a previous create operation.
+        max_results: Optional maximum number of jobs to return when using the "list" action.
+            Default is controlled by NOVA_REEL_DEFAULT_MAX_RESULTS env variable (default: 10).
+        status_filter: Optional filter for the "list" action to only return jobs with this status.
+            Must be one of "Completed", "InProgress", or "Failed".
+        region: AWS region to use. If not provided, will use the AWS_REGION environment
+            variable, falling back to "us-east-1" if not set.
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing operation status and results:
+        - For "create": Job ARN and submission confirmation
+        - For "status": Current job status and output location if complete
+        - For "list": List of jobs with their details
+
+        Success format:
+        {
+            "status": "success",
+            "content": [
+                {"text": "Operation-specific message"},
+                {"text": "Additional details or data"}
+            ]
+        }
+
+        Error format:
+        {
+            "status": "error",
+            "content": [
+                {"text": "Error: [error message]"}
+            ]
+        }
+
+    Notes:
+        - Video generation typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete
+        - The Bedrock Nova Reel model is available in specific regions only, default is us-east-1
+        - Videos can be configured for fps, and resolution
+        - For image-to-video, the input image should ideally match the output video dimensions
+        - S3 buckets must be accessible to the AWS credentials used for Bedrock
+        - Set AWS_REGION environment variable to change the default region

+"""
+Execute Python code in a REPL environment with PTY support and state persistence.
+
+This module provides a tool for running Python code through a Strands Agent, with features like:
+- Persistent state between executions
+- Interactive PTY support for real-time feedback
+- Output capturing and formatting
+- Error handling and logging
+- State reset capabilities
+- User confirmation for code execution
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import python_repl
+
+# Register the python_repl tool with the agent
+agent = Agent(tools=[python_repl])
+
+# Execute Python code
+result = agent.tool.python_repl(code="print('Hello, world!')")
+
+# Execute with state persistence (variables remain available between calls)
+agent.tool.python_repl(code="x = 10")
+agent.tool.python_repl(code="print(x * 2)")  # Will print: 20
+
+# Use interactive mode (default is True)
+agent.tool.python_repl(code="input('Enter your name: ')", interactive=True)
+
+# Reset the REPL state if needed
+agent.tool.python_repl(code="print('Fresh start')", reset_state=True)
+```

+"""
+Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base retrieval tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to perform semantic search against Amazon Bedrock
+Knowledge Bases, enabling natural language queries against your organization's documents.
+It uses vector-based similarity matching to find relevant information and returns results
+ordered by relevance score.
+
+Key Features:
+1. Semantic Search:
+   • Vector-based similarity matching
+   • Relevance scoring (0.0-1.0)
+   • Score-based filtering
+
+2. Advanced Configuration:
+   • Custom result limits
+   • Score thresholds
+   • Regional support
+   • Multiple knowledge bases
+
+3. Response Format:
+   • Sorted by relevance
+   • Includes metadata
+   • Source tracking
+   • Score visibility
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import retrieve
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[retrieve])
+
+# Basic search with default knowledge base and region
+results = agent.tool.retrieve(text="What is the STRANDS SDK?")
+
+# Advanced search with custom parameters
+results = agent.tool.retrieve(
+    text="deployment steps for production",
+    numberOfResults=5,
+    score=0.7,
+    knowledgeBaseId="custom-kb-id",
+    region="us-east-1",
+    retrieveFilter={
+        "andAll": [
+            {"equals": {"key": "category", "value": "security"}},
+            {"greaterThan": {"key": "year", "value": "2022"}}
+        ]
+    }
+)
+```
+
+See the retrieve function docstring for more details on available parameters and options.

+    Retrieve relevant knowledge from Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base.
+
+    This tool uses Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases to perform semantic search against your
+    organization's documents. It returns results sorted by relevance score, with the ability
+    to filter results that don't meet a minimum score threshold.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The provided query text is sent to Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base
+    2. The service performs vector-based semantic search against indexed documents
+    3. Results are returned with relevance scores (0.0-1.0) indicating match quality
+    4. Results below the minimum score threshold are filtered out
+    5. Remaining results are formatted for readability and returned
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Answering user questions from product documentation
+    - Finding relevant information in company policies
+    - Retrieving context from technical manuals
+    - Searching for relevant sections in research papers
+    - Looking up information in legal documents

+            numberOfResults: Maximum number of results to return (default: 10)
+            knowledgeBaseId: The ID of the knowledge base to query (default: from environment)
+            region: AWS region where the knowledge base is located (default: us-west-2)
+            score: Minimum relevance score threshold (default: 0.4)
+            profile_name: Optional AWS profile name to use
+            retrieveFilter: Optional filter to apply to the retrieval results
+
+    Returns:
+        Dictionary containing status and response content in the format:

+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns formatted results from the knowledge base
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong during retrieval
+
+    Notes:
+        - The knowledge base ID can be set via the KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID environment variable
+        - The AWS region can be set via the AWS_REGION environment variable
+        - The minimum score threshold can be set via the MIN_SCORE environment variable

+   • Relevance scoring (0.0-1.0)
+   • Confidence-based filtering
+
+2. Advanced Configuration:
+   • Grouping by video or clip
+   • Confidence thresholds (high, medium, low, none)
+   • Custom result limits
+   • Index selection
+
+3. Response Format:
+   • Sorted by relevance score
+   • Includes timestamps
+   • Video IDs for reference
+   • Confidence levels
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import search_video
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[search_video])
+
+# Basic search
+results = agent.tool.search_video(query="people discussing AI")
+
+# Advanced search with custom parameters
+results = agent.tool.search_video(
+    query="product demo presentation",
+    index_id="your-index-id",
+    group_by="video",
+    threshold="high",
+    page_limit=5
+)
+```

+
+    This tool enables semantic search across video content indexed in TwelveLabs,
+    supporting both visual and audio modalities. It returns relevant video segments
+    or entire videos based on natural language queries.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Your query is sent to TwelveLabs' Marengo search model
+    2. The model searches across visual and/or audio content in the indexed videos
+    3. Results are scored by relevance (0.0-1.0) and filtered by confidence
+    4. Results can be grouped by individual clips or by video
+    5. Formatted results include timestamps and confidence levels
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Finding specific moments in recorded meetings or presentations
+    - Locating product demonstrations in marketing videos
+    - Searching for mentions of topics in educational content
+    - Identifying scenes or actions in surveillance footage
+    - Finding spoken keywords in podcasts or interviews

+            search_options: Modalities to search ['visual', 'audio'] (default: both)
+            group_by: Group results by 'clip' or 'video' (default: 'clip')
+            threshold: Confidence threshold 'high', 'medium', 'low', 'none' (default: 'medium')
+            page_limit: Maximum results to return (default: 10)

+Interactive shell tool with PTY support for real-time command execution and interaction.
+
+This module provides a powerful shell interface for executing commands through a Strands Agent.
+It supports various execution modes, including sequential and parallel command execution,
+directory operations, and interactive PTY support for real-time feedback.
+
+Features:
+- Multiple command formats (string, array, or detailed objects)
+- Sequential or parallel execution
+- Real-time interactive terminal emulation
+- Error handling and timeout control
+- Working directory specification
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import shell
+
+# Register the shell tool with the agent
+agent = Agent(tools=[shell])
+
+# Execute a single command
+result = agent.tool.shell(command="ls -la")
+
+# Execute multiple commands sequentially
+result = agent.tool.shell(command=["cd /path", "ls -la", "pwd"])
+
+# Execute with specific working directory
+result = agent.tool.shell(command="npm install", work_dir="/app/path")
+
+# Execute commands with custom timeout and error handling
+result = agent.tool.shell(
+    command=[{"command": "git clone https://github.com/example/repo", "timeout": 60}],
+    ignore_errors=True
+)
+
+# Execute commands in parallel
+result = agent.tool.shell(command=["task1", "task2"], parallel=True)
+```
+
+Configuration:
+- STRANDS_NON_INTERACTIVE (environment variable): Set to "true" to run the tool
+  in a non-interactive mode, suppressing all user prompts for confirmation.
+- BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT (environment variable): Set to "true" to bypass only the
+  user confirmation prompt, even in an otherwise interactive session.

+
+    1. Command Formats:
+       • Single Command (string):
+         command: "ls -la"
+
+       • Multiple Commands (array):
+         command: ["cd /path", "git status"]
+
+       • Detailed Command Objects:
+         command: [{
+           "command": "git clone repo",
+           "timeout": 60,
+           "work_dir": "/specific/path"
+         }]
+
+    2. Execution Modes:
+       • Sequential (default): Commands run in order
+       • Parallel: Multiple commands execute simultaneously
+       • Error Handling: Stop on error or continue with ignore_errors
+
+    3. Real-time Features:
+       • Live Output: See command output as it happens
+       • Interactive Input: Send input to running commands
+       • PTY Support: Full terminal emulation
+       • Timeout Control: Prevent hanging commands
+
+    4. Common Patterns:
+       • Directory Operations:
+         command: ["mkdir -p dir", "cd dir", "git init"]
+       • Git Operations:
+         command: {"command": "git pull", "work_dir": "/repo/path"}
+       • Build Commands:
+         command: "npm install", work_dir: "/app/path"
+
+    5. Best Practices:
+       • Use arrays for multiple commands
+       • Set appropriate timeouts
+       • Specify work_dir when needed
+       • Enable ignore_errors for resilient scripts
+       • Use parallel execution for independent commands
+
+    Example Usage:
+    1. Simple command:
+       {"command": "ls -la"}
+
+    2. Multiple commands:
+       {"command": ["mkdir test", "cd test", "touch file.txt"]}
+
+    3. Parallel execution:
+       {"command": ["task1", "task2"], "parallel": true}
+
+    4. With error handling:
+       {"command": ["risky-command"], "ignore_errors": true}
+
+    5. Custom directory:
+       {"command": "npm install", "work_dir": "/app/path"}
+
+    Args:
+        command: The shell command(s) to execute interactively. Can be a single command string or array of commands
+        parallel: Whether to execute multiple commands in parallel (default: False)
+        ignore_errors: Continue execution even if some commands fail (default: False)
+        timeout: Timeout in seconds for each command (default: controlled by SHELL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT environment variable)
+        work_dir: Working directory for command execution (default: current)

+Slack Integration Tool for Strands Agents
+========================================
+
+This module provides a comprehensive integration between Slack and Strands agents,
+enabling AI-powered interactions within Slack workspaces through:
+
+1. Real-time event processing via Socket Mode
+2. Direct API access to all Slack methods
+3. Simplified message sending with a dedicated tool
+
+Key Features:
+------------
+- Socket Mode support for real-time events
+- Access to all Slack API methods (auto-detected)
+- Event history storage and retrieval
+- Automatic message reaction handling
+- Thread support for conversations
+- Agent delegation for message processing
+- Environment variable configuration
+- Comprehensive error handling
+- Dynamic toggling of auto-reply mode
+
+Setup Requirements:
+-----------------
+1. Slack App with appropriate scopes:
+   - chat:write
+   - reactions:write
+   - channels:history
+   - app_mentions:read
+   - channels:read
+   - reactions:read
+   - groups:read
+   - im:read
+   - mpim:read
+
+2. Environment variables:
+   - SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: xoxb-... token from Slack app
+   - SLACK_APP_TOKEN: xapp-... token with Socket Mode enabled
+   - STRANDS_SLACK_LISTEN_ONLY_TAG (optional): Only process messages with this tag
+   - STRANDS_SLACK_AUTO_REPLY (optional): Set to "true" to enable automatic replies
+
+Usage Examples:
+-------------
+# Basic setup with Strands agent
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import slack
+
+# Create agent with Slack tool
+agent = Agent(tools=[slack])
+
+# Use the agent to interact with Slack
+result = agent.tool.slack(
+    action="chat_postMessage",
+    parameters={"channel": "C123456", "text": "Hello from Strands!"}
+)
+
+# For simple message sending, use the dedicated tool
+result = agent.tool.slack_send_message(
+    channel="C123456",
+    text="Hello from Strands!",
+    thread_ts="1234567890.123456"  # Optional - reply in thread
+)
+
+# Start Socket Mode to listen for real-time events
+agent.tool.slack(action="start_socket_mode")
+
+# Get recent events from Slack
+events = agent.tool.slack(
+    action="get_recent_events",
+    parameters={"count": 10}
+)
+
+# Toggle auto-reply mode using the environment tool
+agent.tool.environment(
+    action="set",
+    name="STRANDS_SLACK_AUTO_REPLY",
+    value="true"  # Set to "false" to disable auto-replies
+)
+```
+
+Socket Mode:
+----------
+The tool includes a socket mode handler that connects to Slack's real-time
+messaging API and processes events through a Strands agent. When enabled, it:
+
+1. Listens for incoming Slack events
+2. Adds a "thinking" reaction to show processing
+3. Uses a Strands agent to generate responses
+4. Removes the "thinking" reaction and adds a completion reaction
+5. Stores events for later retrieval
+
+Real-time events are stored in a local file system at: ./slack_events/events.jsonl
+
+Auto-Reply Mode:
+--------------
+You can control whether the agent automatically sends replies to Slack or simply
+processes messages without responding:
+
+- Set STRANDS_SLACK_AUTO_REPLY=true: Agent will automatically send responses to Slack
+- Default behavior (false): Agent will process messages but won't automatically reply
+
+This feature allows you to:
+1. Run in "listen-only" mode to monitor without responding
+2. Toggle auto-reply behavior dynamically using the environment tool
+3. Implement custom reply logic using the slack_send_message tool
+
+Error Handling:
+------------
+The tool includes comprehensive error handling for:
+- API rate limiting
+- Network issues
+- Authentication problems
+- Malformed requests
+- Socket disconnections
+
+When errors occur, appropriate error messages are returned and logged.

+You are an AI assistant integrated with a Slack workspace. Important guidelines:
+
+1. MESSAGE IDENTIFICATION:
+   - You'll receive ALL events including your own messages echoed back
+   - NEVER respond to your own messages - check bot_id/user_id carefully
+   - Your messages typically have a bot_id or app_user_id field
+   - The user field in your messages may be different from regular user messages
+
+2. INTERACTION CAPABILITIES:
+   - Send messages with slack_send_message(channel, text, thread_ts)
+   - Add reactions with slack(action="reactions_add", parameters={"channel": "...", "name": "emoji_name", "timestamp": "..."})
+   - Upload images with slack(action="files_upload_v2", parameters={"channel_id": "...", "file": "...", "title": "..."})
+   - Upload audio with slack(action="files_upload_v2", parameters={"channel_id": "...", "file": "/path/to/audio.mp3", "title": "Audio Title", "filetype": "mp3"})
+   - Create rich messages with blocks using chat_postMessage action
+
+3. CONVERSATION FLOW:
+   - Maintain context across messages in threads
+   - Use thread_ts parameter to keep conversations organized
+   - Prefer thread replies for multi-turn conversations
+
+4. CONTENT GUIDELINES:
+   - Use Slack markdown for formatting (*bold*, _italic_, `code`)
+   - Keep responses concise and formatted for chat readability
+   - Use emoji reactions as appropriate signals
+   - Follow communication priority: Speaking/Audio > Text speaking > Images > Plain text > Reactions
+   - When possible, prioritize sending audio messages over other forms of communication
+
+Use slack send message tool to communicate back.

+
+    This tool provides complete access to Slack's API methods and real-time
+    event handling through a unified interface. It enables Strands agents to
+    communicate with Slack workspaces, respond to messages, add reactions,
+    manage channels, and more.
+
+    Action Categories:
+    -----------------
+    1. Slack API Methods: Any method from the Slack Web API (e.g., chat_postMessage)
+       Direct passthrough to Slack's API using the parameters dictionary
+
+    2. Socket Mode Actions:
+       - start_socket_mode: Begin listening for real-time events
+       - stop_socket_mode: Stop the Socket Mode connection
+
+    3. Event Management:
+       - get_recent_events: Retrieve stored events from history
+
+    Args:
+        action: The action to perform. Can be:
+            - Any valid Slack API method (chat_postMessage, reactions_add, etc.)
+            - "start_socket_mode": Start listening for real-time events
+            - "stop_socket_mode": Stop listening for real-time events
+            - "get_recent_events": Retrieve recent events from storage
+        parameters: Parameters for the action. For Slack API methods, these are
+                  passed directly to the API. For custom actions, specific
+                  parameters may be needed.
+
+    Returns:
+        str: Result of the requested action, typically containing a success/error
+             status and relevant details or response data.
+
+    Examples:
+    --------
+    # Send a message
+    result = slack(
+        action="chat_postMessage",

+
+    Notes:
+    -----
+    - Slack event stream include your own messages, do not reply yourself.
+    - Required environment variables: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_APP_TOKEN
+    - Optional environment variables:

+Event loop control tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to gracefully terminate the current event loop cycle
+by setting a stop flag in the request state. It's particularly useful for:
+
+1. Ending conversations when a task is complete
+2. Preventing further processing when an error condition is encountered
+3. Creating logical exit points in complex workflows
+4. Implementing cancel/abort functionality in user interfaces
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import stop
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[stop])
+
+# Basic usage
+agent.tool.stop(reason="Task completed successfully")
+
+# In conditional workflows
+if condition_met:
+    agent.tool.stop(reason="Condition satisfied, no further processing needed")
+```
+
+The stop tool sets the 'stop_event_loop' flag in the request state,
+which signals the Strands runtime to terminate the current cycle cleanly.

+    Stops the current event loop cycle by setting the stop_event_loop flag.
+
+    This tool allows for graceful termination of the current event loop iteration
+    while providing an optional reason for the termination. When called, it sets
+    the 'stop_event_loop' flag in the request state, signaling the Strands runtime
+    to complete the current cycle and then stop further processing.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The tool extracts the optional reason from the input
+    2. It sets the 'stop_event_loop' flag in the request state to True
+    3. It returns a success message with the provided reason
+    4. The Strands runtime detects the flag and stops further cycle execution
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Task completion: Stop processing once a specific goal is achieved
+    - Error handling: Terminate gracefully when encountering unrecoverable errors
+    - User requests: End the session when the user explicitly requests termination
+    - Resource management: Stop processing to prevent excessive computation

+        }
+
+    Notes:
+        - This tool only stops the current event loop cycle, not the entire application
+        - The stop is graceful, allowing current operations to complete
+        - Always provide a meaningful reason for debugging and user feedback
+        - The stop flag is only effective within the current request context

+"""Swarm intelligence tool for coordinating custom AI agent teams.
+
+This module implements a flexible swarm intelligence system that enables users to define
+custom teams of specialized AI agents that collaborate autonomously through shared context
+and tool-based coordination. Built on the Strands SDK Swarm multi-agent pattern.
+
+Key Features:
+-------------
+1. Custom Agent Teams:
+   • User-defined agent specifications with individual system prompts
+   • Per-agent tool configuration and model settings
+   • Complete control over agent specializations and capabilities
+   • Support for diverse model providers across agents
+
+2. Autonomous Coordination:
+   • Built on Strands SDK's native Swarm multi-agent pattern
+   • Automatic injection of coordination tools (handoff_to_agent, complete_swarm_task)
+   • Shared working memory and context across all agents
+   • Self-organizing collaboration without central control
+
+3. Advanced Configuration:
+   • Individual model providers and settings per agent
+   • Customizable tool access for each agent

+    This function leverages the Strands SDK's Swarm multi-agent pattern to create custom teams

+    prompt, tools, model provider, and settings, enabling precise control over team composition.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Custom Agent Creation:
+       • Each agent is created with individual specifications
+       • Unique system prompts define each agent's role and expertise
+       • Per-agent tool access controls what each agent can do
+       • Individual model providers and settings for optimization
+
+    2. Autonomous Coordination:
+       • Agents automatically receive coordination tools (handoff_to_agent, complete_swarm_task)
+       • Shared working memory maintains context across all handoffs
+       • Agents decide when to collaborate based on task requirements
+       • Self-organizing collaboration without central control
+
+    3. Flexible Team Composition:
+       • Mix different model providers for diverse capabilities
+       • Assign specialized tools to relevant agents only
+       • Custom temperature and model settings per agent
+       • Support for any number of agents with unique roles
+
+    4. Safety and Control:
+       • Comprehensive timeout mechanisms prevent infinite loops
+       • Handoff limits ensure efficient resource usage
+       • Repetitive behavior detection prevents endless agent exchanges
+       • Rich execution metrics for performance insights
+
+    Args:
+        task: The main task to be processed by the agent team.
+        agents: List of agent specification dictionaries. Each dictionary can contain:

+    Notes:
+        - Built on Strands SDK's native Swarm multi-agent pattern
+        - Each agent can use different models and tools for optimal performance
+        - Agents coordinate autonomously through injected coordination tools
+        - Shared context enables true collective intelligence
+        - Safety mechanisms prevent infinite loops and resource exhaustion
+        - Rich execution metrics provide insights into team collaboration
+        - Supports complex multi-modal tasks and diverse expertise areas
+        - Tool filtering ensures agents only get tools that exist in parent registry

+    """Recursive thinking tool with model switching support for sophisticated thought generation.
+
+    This tool implements a multi-cycle cognitive analysis approach that progressively refines thoughts
+    through iterative processing, with the ability to use different model providers for specialized
+    thinking tasks. Each cycle builds upon insights from the previous cycle, creating a depth of
+    analysis that would be difficult to achieve in a single pass.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The tool processes the initial thought through a specified number of thinking cycles
+    2. Each cycle uses the output from the previous cycle as a foundation for deeper analysis
+    3. A specialized system prompt guides the thinking process toward specific expertise domains
+    4. Each cycle's output is captured and included in the final comprehensive analysis
+    5. Recursion prevention: The think tool is automatically excluded from nested agents
+    6. Other tools are available and encouraged for analysis within thinking cycles
+    7. Optionally uses different model providers for specialized thinking capabilities
+
+    Model Selection Process:
+    ----------------------
+    1. If model_provider is None: Uses parent agent's model (original behavior)
+    2. If model_provider is "env": Uses environment variables (STRANDS_PROVIDER, etc.)
+    3. If model_provider is specified: Uses that provider with optional custom config
+    4. Model utilities handle all provider-specific configuration automatically
+
+    System Prompt vs Thinking System Prompt:
+    --------------------------------------
+    - **system_prompt**: Controls the agent's persona, role, and expertise domain
+      Example: "You are a creative AI researcher specializing in educational technology."
+
+    - **thinking_system_prompt**: Controls the thinking methodology and approach
+      Example: "Use design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test."
+
+    Together they provide: WHO the agent is (system_prompt) + HOW it thinks (thinking_system_prompt)
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Creative thinking: Use creative models for brainstorming and ideation
+    - Technical analysis: Use analytical models for code review and system design
+    - Multi-model comparison: Compare thinking approaches across different models
+    - Specialized domains: Use domain-specific models (math, creative writing, etc.)
+    - Cost optimization: Use cheaper models for exploratory thinking cycles
+
+    Args:
+        thought: The detailed thought or idea to process through multiple thinking cycles.
+            This can be a question, statement, problem description, or creative prompt.
+        cycle_count: Number of thinking cycles to perform (1-10). More cycles allow for
+            deeper analysis but require more time and resources. Typically 3-5 cycles
+            provide a good balance of depth and efficiency.
+        system_prompt: Custom system prompt to use for the LLM thinking process. This should
+            specify the expertise domain and thinking approach for processing the thought.
+        tools: List of tool names to make available to the nested agent. Tool names must
+            exist in the parent agent's tool registry. Examples: ["calculator", "file_read", "retrieve"]
+            If not provided, inherits all tools from the parent agent.
+        model_provider: Model provider to use for the thinking cycles.
+            Options: "bedrock", "anthropic", "litellm", "llamaapi", "ollama", "openai", "github"
+            Special values:
+            - None: Use parent agent's model (default, preserves original behavior)
+            - "env": Use environment variables to determine provider
+            Examples: "bedrock", "anthropic", "litellm", "env"
+        model_settings: Optional custom configuration for the model.
+            If not provided, uses default configuration for the provider.
+            Example: {"model_id": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "params": {"temperature": 1}}
+        thinking_system_prompt: Optional custom thinking instructions that override the default
+            thinking methodology. This controls HOW the agent thinks about the problem, separate
+            from the system_prompt which controls the agent's persona/role.
+            Example: "Use first principles reasoning. Break down complex problems into fundamental
+            components. Question assumptions at each step."
+        agent: The parent agent (automatically passed by Strands framework)
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [{"text": "Detailed thinking output across all cycles"}]
+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns concatenated results from all thinking cycles
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong during processing
+
+    Environment Variables for Model Switching:
+    ----------------------------------------
+    When model_provider="env", these variables are used:
+    - STRANDS_PROVIDER: Model provider name
+    - STRANDS_MODEL_ID: Specific model identifier
+    - STRANDS_MAX_TOKENS: Maximum tokens to generate
+    - STRANDS_TEMPERATURE: Sampling temperature
+    - Provider-specific keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.)
+
+    Examples:
+    --------
+    # Use Bedrock for creative thinking
+    result = agent.tool.think(
+        thought="How can we make AI more creative?",
+        cycle_count=3,
+        system_prompt="You are a creative AI researcher.",
+        model_provider="bedrock"

+        model_settings={"model_id": "qwen3:4b", "host": "http://localhost:11434"}
+    )
+
+    # Use environment configuration with custom thinking methodology
+    os.environ["STRANDS_PROVIDER"] = "anthropic"
+    os.environ["STRANDS_MODEL_ID"] = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
+    result = agent.tool.think(
+        thought="What are the ethical implications?",
+        cycle_count=4,
+        system_prompt="You are an AI ethics expert.",
+        model_provider="env",
+        thinking_system_prompt=Use Socratic questioning method:
+        1. Question fundamental assumptions
+        2. Explore implications through dialogue
+        3. Consider multiple perspectives
+        4. Challenge each conclusion with 'but what if...'
+        5. Build understanding through systematic inquiry
+    )
+
+    # Custom thinking methodology for creative problem solving
+    result = agent.tool.think(

+    )
+
+    Notes:
+        - Model switching requires the appropriate dependencies (bedrock, anthropic, ollama, etc.)
+        - When model_provider is None, behavior is identical to the original implementation
+        - Custom model_settings overrides default environment-based configuration
+        - Each cycle uses the same model - mixed model cycles not currently supported
+        - Model information is logged for transparency and debugging

+"""Dynamic Agent instance creation for Strands Agent with model switching support.
+
+This module provides functionality to start new AI event loops with specified prompts
+and optionally different model providers, allowing you to create isolated agent instances
+for specific tasks or use cases with different AI models.
+
+Each invocation creates a fresh agent with its own context and state, and can use
+a different model provider than the parent agent.
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import use_agent
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[use_agent])
+
+# Basic usage with inherited model (original behavior)
+result = agent.tool.use_agent(
+    prompt="Tell me about the advantages of tool-building in AI agents",
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful AI assistant specializing in AI development concepts."
+)
+
+# Usage with different model provider
+result = agent.tool.use_agent(
+    prompt="Calculate 2 + 2 and explain the result",
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful math assistant.",
+    model_provider="bedrock",  # Switch to Bedrock instead of parent's model
+    model_settings={
+      "model_id": "us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0"
+    },
+    tools=["calculator"]
+)
+
+# Usage with custom model configuration
+result = agent.tool.use_agent(
+    prompt="Write a creative story",
+    system_prompt="You are a creative writing assistant.",
+    model_provider="github",
+    model_settings={
+        "model_id": "openai/o4-mini",
+        "params": {"temperature": 1, "max_tokens": 4000}
+    }
+)
+
+# Environment-based model switching
+import os
+os.environ["STRANDS_PROVIDER"] = "ollama"
+os.environ["STRANDS_MODEL_ID"] = "qwen3:4b"

+    system_prompt="You are a code review assistant.",
+    model_provider="env"  # Use environment variables
+)

+
+    This function creates a new Strands Agent instance with the provided system prompt,
+    optionally using a different model provider than the parent agent, runs it with the
+    specified prompt, and returns the response with performance metrics.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. Determines which model to use (parent's model, specified provider, or environment)
+    2. Creates a new Agent instance with the model and system prompt
+    3. The agent processes the given prompt in its own isolated context
+    4. The response and metrics are captured and returned in a structured format
+    5. The new agent instance exists only for the duration of this function call
+
+    Model Selection Process:
+    ----------------------
+    1. If model_provider is None: Uses parent agent's model (original behavior)
+    2. If model_provider is "env": Uses environment variables (STRANDS_PROVIDER, etc.)
+    3. If model_provider is specified: Uses that provider with optional custom config
+    4. Model utilities handle all provider-specific configuration automatically
+
+    Common Use Cases:
+    ---------------
+    - Multi-model workflows: Use different models for different tasks
+    - Model comparison: Compare responses from different providers
+    - Cost optimization: Use cheaper models for simple tasks
+    - Specialized models: Use domain-specific models (code, math, creative)
+    - Fallback strategies: Switch to alternative models if primary fails
+
+    Args:
+        prompt: The prompt to process with the new agent instance.
+        system_prompt: Custom system prompt for the agent.
+        tools: List of tool names to make available to the nested agent.
+            Tool names must exist in the parent agent's tool registry.
+            Examples: ["calculator", "file_read", "retrieve"]
+            If not provided, inherits all tools from the parent agent.
+        model_provider: Model provider to use for the nested agent.
+            Options: "bedrock", "anthropic", "litellm", "llamaapi", "ollama", "openai", "github"
+            Special values:
+            - None: Use parent agent's model (default, preserves original behavior)
+            - "env": Use environment variables to determine provider
+            Examples: "bedrock", anthropic", "litellm", "env"
+        model_settings: Optional custom configuration for the model.
+            If not provided, uses default configuration for the provider.
+            Example: {"model_id": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "params": {"temperature": 1}}
+        agent: The parent agent (automatically passed by Strands framework).
+
+    Returns:
+        Dict containing status and response content in the format:
+        {
+            "status": "success|error",
+            "content": [
+                {"text": "Response: The response text from the agent"},
+                {"text": "Model: Information about the model used"},
+                {"text": "Metrics: Performance metrics information"}
+            ]
+        }
+
+        Success case: Returns the agent response with model info and performance metrics
+        Error case: Returns information about what went wrong during processing
+
+    Environment Variables for Model Switching:
+    ----------------------------------------
+    When model_provider="env", these variables are used:
+    - STRANDS_PROVIDER: Model provider name
+    - STRANDS_MODEL_ID: Specific model identifier, example;
+        "us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0" for bedrock provider
+    - STRANDS_MAX_TOKENS: Maximum tokens to generate
+    - STRANDS_TEMPERATURE: Sampling temperature
+    - Provider-specific keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.)
+
+    Examples:
+    --------
+    # Use Bedrock for creative tasks
+    result = agent.tool.use_agent(
+        prompt="Write a poem about AI",
+        system_prompt="You are a creative poet.",
+        model_provider="bedrock"
+    )
+
+    # Use Ollama for local processing
+    result = agent.tool.use_agent(
+        prompt="Summarize this text",
+        system_prompt="You are a summarization assistant.",
+        model_provider="ollama",
+        model_settings={"host": "http://localhost:11434", "model_id": "qwen3:4b"}

+        prompt="Analyze this data",
+        system_prompt="You are a data analyst.",
+        model_provider="env"
+    )
+
+    Notes:
+        - Model switching requires the appropriate dependencies (bedrock, anthropic, ollama, llamaapi, litellm, etc.)
+        - When model_provider is None, behavior is identical to the original implementation
+        - Custom model_settings overrides default environment-based configuration
+        - Performance metrics include token usage for the specific model used
+        - Model information is included in the response for transparency

+"""AWS service integration tool for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides a comprehensive interface to AWS services through boto3,
+allowing you to invoke any AWS API operation directly from your Strands Agent.
+The tool handles authentication, parameter validation, response formatting,
+and provides user-friendly error messages with input schema recommendations.
+
+Key Features:
+
+1. Universal AWS Access:
+   • Access to all boto3-supported AWS services
+   • Support for all service operations in snake_case format
+   • Region-specific API calls
+   • AWS profile support for credential management
+
+2. Safety Features:
+   • Confirmation prompts for mutative operations (create, update, delete)
+   • Parameter validation with helpful error messages
+   • Automatic schema generation for invalid requests
+   • Error handling with detailed feedback
+
+3. Response Handling:
+   • JSON formatting of responses
+   • Special handling for streaming responses
+   • DateTime object conversion for JSON compatibility
+   • Pretty printing of operation details
+
+4. Usage Examples:
+   ```python
+   from strands import Agent
+   from strands_tools import use_aws
+
+   agent = Agent(tools=[use_aws])
+
+   # List S3 buckets
+   result = agent.tool.use_aws(
+       service_name="s3",
+       operation_name="list_buckets",
+       parameters={},
+       region="us-west-2",
+       label="List all S3 buckets"
+   )
+   ```
+
+See the use_aws function docstring for more details on parameters and usage.

+    This tool provides a universal interface to AWS services, allowing you to execute
+    any operation supported by boto3. It handles authentication, parameter validation,
+    response formatting, and provides helpful error messages with schema recommendations
+    when invalid parameters are provided.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The tool validates the provided service and operation names against available APIs
+    2. For potentially disruptive operations (create, delete, etc.), it prompts for confirmation
+    3. It sets up a boto3 client with appropriate region and credentials
+    4. The requested operation is executed with the provided parameters
+    5. Responses are processed to handle special data types (e.g., streaming bodies)
+    6. If errors occur, helpful messages and expected parameter schemas are returned
+
+    Common Usage Scenarios:
+    ---------------------
+    - Resource Management: Create, list, modify or delete AWS resources
+    - Data Operations: Store, retrieve, or process data in AWS services
+    - Configuration: Update settings or permissions for AWS services
+    - Monitoring: Retrieve metrics, logs or status information
+    - Security Operations: Manage IAM roles, policies or security settings
+
+    Args:
+        tool: The ToolUse object containing:
+            - toolUseId: Unique identifier for this tool invocation
+            - input: Dictionary containing:
+                - service_name: AWS service name (e.g., 's3', 'ec2', 'dynamodb')
+                - operation_name: Operation to perform in snake_case (e.g., 'list_buckets')
+                - parameters: Dictionary of parameters for the operation
+                - region: AWS region (e.g., 'us-west-2')
+                - label: Human-readable description of the operation
+                - profile_name: Optional AWS profile name for credentials
+        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments (unused)
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult dictionary with:
+        - toolUseId: Same ID from the request
+        - status: 'success' or 'error'
+        - content: List of content dictionaries with response text
+
+    Notes:
+        - Mutative operations (create, delete, etc.) require user confirmation in non-dev environments
+        - You can disable confirmation by setting the environment variable BYPASS_TOOL_CONSENT=true
+        - The tool automatically handles special response types like streaming bodies
+        - For validation errors, the tool attempts to generate the correct input schema
+        - All datetime objects are automatically converted to strings for proper JSON serialization

+"""
+Cross-platform computer automation tool for controlling mouse, keyboard, and screen interactions.
+
+This module provides a comprehensive set of utilities for programmatically controlling
+a computer through various input methods (mouse, keyboard) and screen analysis capabilities.
+It's designed to work across multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) with
+appropriate fallbacks and platform-specific optimizations.
+
+Features:
+- Mouse control: positioning, clicking, dragging
+- Keyboard input: typing, key presses, hotkeys
+- Screen analysis: OCR-based text extraction from screen regions
+- Application management: opening, closing, and focusing applications
+
+The module uses PyAutoGUI for most operations, with platform-specific enhancements
+for macOS (using Quartz), Windows, and Linux where needed. It includes comprehensive
+error handling, input validation, and user consent mechanisms.
+
+For OCR functionality, the module uses Tesseract OCR via the pytesseract library,
+with image preprocessing optimizations to improve text recognition accuracy.

+"""
+Dynamic LLM instance creation for Strands Agent.
+
+This module provides functionality to start new AI event loops with specified prompts,
+allowing you to create isolated agent instances for specific tasks or use cases.
+Each invocation creates a fresh agent with its own context and state.
+
+Strands automatically handles the lifecycle of these nested agent instances,
+making them powerful for delegation, specialized processing, or isolated computation.
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import use_llm
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[use_llm])
+
+# Basic usage with just a prompt and system prompt (inherits all parent tools)
+result = agent.tool.use_llm(
+    prompt="Tell me about the advantages of tool-building in AI agents",
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful AI assistant specializing in AI development concepts."
+)
+
+# Usage with specific tools filtered from parent agent
+result = agent.tool.use_llm(
+    prompt="Calculate 2 + 2 and retrieve some information",
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
+    tools=["calculator", "retrieve"]
+)
+
+# Usage with mixed tool filtering from parent agent
+result = agent.tool.use_llm(
+    prompt="Analyze this data file",
+    system_prompt="You are a data analyst.",
+    tools=["file_read", "calculator", "python_repl"]
+)
+
+# The response is available in the returned object
+print(result["content"][0]["text"])  # Prints the response text
+```
+
+See the use_llm function docstring for more details on configuration options and parameters.

+    Create a new LLM instance using the Agent interface.
+
+    This function creates a new Strands Agent instance with the provided system prompt,
+    runs it with the specified prompt, and returns the response with performance metrics.
+    It allows for isolated processing in a fresh context separate from the main agent.
+
+    How It Works:
+    ------------
+    1. The function initializes a new Agent instance with the provided system prompt
+    2. The agent processes the given prompt in its own isolated context
+    3. The response and metrics are captured and returned in a structured format
+    4. The new agent instance exists only for the duration of this function call
+
+    Agent Creation Process:
+    ---------------------
+    - A fresh Agent object is created with an empty message history
+    - The provided system prompt configures the agent's behavior and capabilities
+    - The agent processes the prompt in its own isolated context
+    - Response and metrics are captured for return to the caller
+    - The parent agent's callback_handler is used if one is not specified
+
+    Common Use Cases:
+    ---------------
+    - Task delegation: Creating specialized agents for specific subtasks
+    - Context isolation: Processing prompts in a clean context without history
+    - Multi-agent systems: Creating multiple agents with different specializations
+    - Learning and reasoning: Using nested agents for complex reasoning chains
+
+    Args:
+        tool (ToolUse): Tool use object containing the following:
+            - prompt (str): The prompt to process with the new agent instance
+            - system_prompt (str): Custom system prompt for the agent
+            - tools (List[str], optional): List of tool names to make available to the nested agent.
+                Tool names must exist in the parent agent's tool registry.
+                Examples: ["calculator", "file_read", "retrieve"]
+                If not provided, inherits all tools from the parent agent.
+        **kwargs (Any): Additional keyword arguments
+
+    Returns:
+        ToolResult: Dictionary containing status and response content in the format:
+        {

+                {"text": "Metrics: Performance metrics information"}
+            ]
+        }
+
+    Notes:
+        - The agent instance is temporary and will be garbage-collected after use
+        - The agent(prompt) call is synchronous and will block until completion
+        - Performance metrics include token usage and processing latency information

+"""Workflow orchestration tool for managing parallel AI tasks with advanced model support.
+
+This module provides an advanced workflow orchestration system that supports parallel AI task
+execution with granular control over model providers, tool access, and execution parameters.
+Built on modern Strands SDK patterns with rich monitoring and robust error handling.
+
+Key Features:
+-------------
+1. Advanced Task Management:
+   • Parallel execution with dynamic thread pooling
+   • Priority-based scheduling (1-5 levels)
+   • Complex dependency resolution with validation
+   • Timeout and resource controls per task
+   • Per-task model provider and settings configuration
+
+2. Modern Model Support:
+   • Individual model providers per task (bedrock, anthropic, ollama, etc.)
+   • Custom model settings and parameters per task
+   • Environment-based model configuration
+   • Fallback to parent agent model when needed
+
+3. Flexible Tool Configuration:
+   • Per-task tool access control
+   • Tool inheritance from parent agent
+   • Automatic tool filtering and validation
+   • Support for any combination of tools per task
+
+4. Resource Optimization:
+   • Automatic thread pool scaling (2-8 threads)
+   • Rate limiting with exponential backoff
+   • Resource-aware task distribution
+   • CPU usage monitoring and optimization
+
+5. Reliability Features:
+   • Persistent state storage with real-time monitoring
+   • Automatic error recovery with retries
+   • File system watching for external updates
+   • Task state preservation across restarts
+
+6. Rich Monitoring & Control:
+   • Detailed status tracking with metrics
+   • Progress reporting with timing statistics
+   • Resource utilization insights
+   • Comprehensive execution logging
+
+Usage with Strands Agent:
+```python
+from strands import Agent
+from strands_tools import workflow
+
+agent = Agent(tools=[workflow])
+
+# Create a multi-model research workflow

+        }
+    ]

+# Start the workflow
+result = agent.tool.workflow(action="start", workflow_id="research_pipeline")
+
+# Monitor progress
+result = agent.tool.workflow(action="status", workflow_id="research_pipeline")
+```
