"""Example 3: Data Agents — Deterministic CRUD agents (no LLM required).

Demonstrates:
- Creating a DataAgent for an entity (extends ADK BaseAgent)
- Auto-generated CRUD + semantic search tools
- Executing tools directly (deterministic, no LLM call)
- Tool scoping — agents only see their own entity's tools
- Tracing tool execution
