Heya, thanks for the contribution, you still got some Black failures though it seems (I saw one in atomic-assembler, that was my bad, I have since pushed a change to main, so perhaps merge main into your branch as well)

I'll review it soon!

EDIT: I do want to say, though, make sure your README reflects actual usage, since BaseAgent(tools=...) is invalid (and furthermore BaseAgent has been replaced with AtomicAgent in v2.0 - no major rewrite there though mostly a naming change for clarity, see the upgrade guide: https://github.com/BrainBlend-AI/atomic-agents/blob/main/UPGRADE_DOC.md

Crikey, All checks have passed, kept having to repeat the black and flake8 like it was a VHS vs Betamax marathon.
