This pull request adds an enum class for the various types of agents
used in the project, located in the `agent_types.py` file. Currently,
the project is using hardcoded strings for the initialization of these
agents, which can lead to errors and make the code harder to maintain.
With the introduction of the new enums, the code will be more readable
and less error-prone.
The new enum members include:
- ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION
- REACT_DOCSTORE
- SELF_ASK_WITH_SEARCH
- CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION
- CHAT_ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION
- CHAT_CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION
In this PR, I have also replaced the hardcoded strings with the
appropriate enum members throughout the codebase, ensuring a smooth
transition to the new approach.
Follow-up of @hinthornw's PR:
- Migrate the Tool abstraction to a separate file (`BaseTool`).
- `Tool` implementation of `BaseTool` takes in function and coroutine to
more easily maintain backwards compatibility
- Add a Toolkit abstraction that can own the generation of tools around
a shared concept or state
