fix: Merging dev to main for the demo env tool string length issue

[Dhruvkumar-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request primarily removes or comments out a large number of HR and marketing tool functions from the backend, likely to reduce available functionality or for refactoring purposes. Additionally, it standardizes the JSON output format in tool documentation by removing indentation. There are also minor changes to how tool lists are handled in the planner agent and template.

The most important changes are:

Removal/commenting out of tool functions

• Most HR-related functions in hr_tools.py have been commented out, including processing leave requests, updating policies, conducting exit interviews, scheduling reviews, approving expenses, managing transfers, tracking attendance, and more. This significantly reduces the available HR automation capabilities. [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Several marketing tool functions in marketing_tools.py have been commented out, such as conducting customer surveys, scheduling marketing events, tracking campaign performance, developing brand strategies, creating content calendars, and updating website content. [1] [2]

JSON output formatting

• The JSON output for tool documentation in both generic_tools.py and hr_tools.py is now generated without indentation, resulting in a more compact format. [1] [2]

Planner agent changes

• In planner_agent.py, the tools_list is now passed directly (as a list) instead of being stringified, which may affect template rendering or downstream processing.
• A line in the planner agent's template that instructed the agent to ask the user for additional information in the first step has been removed, potentially altering the initial planning behavior.

Does this introduce a breaking change?
