    "matterattetatte/pdf-extractor-tool",
    name="pdf-extractor",
    description="Extract data"
)

pdf_extraction_tool("Extract all headlines from all pdfs in folder pdfs")
```


Full-fledged example (managed and managing agents):


```py
from smolagents import CodeAgent, HfApiModel, ManagedAgent, ToolCallingAgent, GradioUI, Tool
from huggingface_hub import login
import os

login('hf_*******')

pdf_agent = ToolCallingAgent(
    tools=[Tool.from_space("matterattetatte/pdf-extractor-tool", name="pdf-extractor", description="Extract data")],
    model=HfApiModel(),
    max_steps=4,
)

managed_pdf_agent = ManagedAgent(
    agent=pdf_agent,
    name="extraction",
    description="Returns the content of pdf files in a string. Give it your path as an argument. Also, this agent should link to the files it is are using.",
)

manager_agent = CodeAgent(
    tools=[],
    model=HfApiModel(model_id = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct"),
    managed_agents=[managed_pdf_agent],
    additional_authorized_imports=['os', 're'],

GradioUI(manager_agent).launch()
