+"""Example demonstrating tool use (function calling) with the Anthropic SDK.
+
+This example shows how to:
+1. Define tools with JSON Schema input descriptions
+2. Send a message that triggers tool use
+3. Process the tool call and return results
+4. Get Claude's final response incorporating the tool results
+
+Usage:
+    export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+    python examples/tool_use.py
