To use any tool in your CrewAI project:

1. **Import** the tool in your crew configuration
2. **Add** it to your agent's tools list
3. **Configure** any required API keys or settings

```python
from crewai_tools import FileReadTool, SerperDevTool

# Add tools to your agent
agent = Agent(
    role="Research Analyst",
    tools=[FileReadTool(), SerperDevTool()],
    # ... other configuration
)
```

## **Max Usage Count**

You can set a maximum usage count for a tool to prevent it from being used more than a certain number of times.
By default, the max usage count is unlimited.



```python
