Enable Agno agents with Slack tool to reach out to channels, update team members, or pull data from conversations. 
"""Run: pip install openai slack-sdk"""

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.slack import SlackTools

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


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

# Example 2: Enable specific tools only
agent_specific = Agent(
    tools=[

            enable_download_file=False,
        )
    ],

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