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


# Example 1: Enable specific DuckDuckGo functions
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools(enable_search=True, enable_news=False)],
)

# Example 2: Enable all DuckDuckGo functions (both search and news)
agent_all = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools(enable_search=True, enable_news=True)],
)

# Example 3: Enable only news search
news_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools(enable_search=False, enable_news=True)],
)

# Example 4: Use WebSearchTools for other search backends (e.g., yandex)
# Note: DuckDuckGoTools always uses duckduckgo backend.
# For other backends, use WebSearchTools directly.
yandex_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[WebSearchTools(enable_search=True, enable_news=False, backend="yandex")],
