Use AG2 beta's built-in tools

When to use

Reach for this skill when the user wants to add a capability that AG2 already ships. Two families:

1. Provider-native tools (autogen.beta.tools — WebSearchTool, CodeExecutionTool, etc.) — executed server-side by Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini. No Python implementation on your side.
2. Common toolkits (autogen.beta.tools — FilesystemToolkit, DuckDuckSearchTool, ExaToolkit, TavilySearchTool, SkillsToolkit) — regular Python that runs in your process and works with every provider.

For shell commands, use ag2-shell-tool (it's important enough to live in its own skill). For custom Python tools, use ag2-add-custom-tool.
