Add the use_agent (Agent as Tool) documentation to README.md: - Added to Features section with description of nested agent instances and model switching support - Added to Tools Overview table with usage example and description - Added comprehensive Usage Examples section showing: - Basic usage inheriting parent model - Model switching with different providers (bedrock, ollama, github) - Environment-based model selection - Custom model configuration with parameters - Tool filtering for nested agents - Added Environment Variables section for use_agent configuration Closes strands-agents/tools#XXX

@agent-of-mkmeral these are the other missing ones. can you add these too? |
Add missing tool documentation as requested by @mkmeral: - graph.py: Added to Features section, Tools Overview table, Usage Examples section with comprehensive DAG pipeline example, and Environment Variables section. This is distinct from agent_graph (persistent message-passing) — graph uses deterministic DAG execution with output propagation via Strands SDK GraphBuilder. - elasticsearch_memory.py: Added to Tools Overview table (was already documented in Usage Examples but missing from the main table). Added Environment Variables section documenting all ELASTICSEARCH_* vars.
