// This sample shows how to use plugins with an AI agent. Plugin classes can
// depend on other services that need to be injected. In this sample, the
// AgentPlugin class uses the WeatherProvider and CurrentTimeProvider classes
// to get weather and current time information. Both services are registered
// in the service collection and injected into the plugin.
// Plugin classes may have many methods, but only some are intended to be used
// as AI functions. The AsAITools method of the plugin class shows how to specify
// which methods should be exposed to the AI agent.
