Add more tools to control session and file uploads #74

Open

Description

@coezbek

The current set of tools is missing two important aspects when collaborating with an agent on a colab notebook:

  1. Ability to stop the runtime and start it with a given runtime-type (GPU/CPU) again. This would be helpful in particular when letting the agent work autonomously for longer time to conserve Colab resources.
  2. Upload/download files to the session.

Of course there are workarounds for point 2 by using Google Drive on both sides, but this requires giving the agent access to Google Drive which might not be desirable.

    This would really be very helpful. In fact, at times the session just closes or losses connection due to inactivity. And if I am away from keyboard, my agent would never be able to continue the job on colab unless I come back.
