Run logic before and after tool execution with a tool hook.

asyncio.run(agent.aprint_response("What is currently trending on Twitter?"))For the asynchronous demonstration, change the request to “What are the latest AI news headlines?” WebSearchTools searches the web and news; it does not query X’s live trending-topic API.
