## Description Add a tool use (function calling) example to the `examples/` directory. This example demonstrates the complete tool use workflow: - Defining tools with JSON Schema input descriptions - Sending a message that triggers tool use - Processing tool calls in a loop (handling multiple tool calls) - Returning tool results back to Claude - Getting Claude's final response incorporating the tool results The example uses a simulated weather API to keep it simple and runnable without external dependencies. ## Motivation The SDK supports tool use but the `examples/` directory doesn't have a dedicated example for it. This makes it harder for new users to get started with function calling. The README references tool use support but links to external docs rather than a working example. ## Testing Tested locally with `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set — Claude correctly
