Agentic RAG: Tool-Based Search

"""
Agentic RAG: Tool-Based Search
================================
The agent gets a search_knowledge_base tool and decides when to query the
knowledge base. This is more flexible than basic RAG - the agent can choose
to search multiple times, refine queries, or skip searching entirely.

This is the default behavior when you set knowledge on an Agent.

Steps:
1. Create a Knowledge base with a vector database
2. Load a document
3. Create an Agent with search_knowledge=True (the default)
4. Ask questions - agent decides when to search

See also: 01_basic_rag.py for automatic context injection.
