Example Code

from langchain_community.agent_toolkits import SlackToolkit

toolkit = SlackToolkit()

Description

I have the
SLACK_USER_TOKEN= set correctly and installed all the needed packages including slack_sdk
But the SlackToolkin() gives exception:
Exception has occurred: PydanticUserError
SlackToolkit is not fully defined; you should define WebClient, then call SlackToolkit.model_rebuild().

File "/Users/user/Projects/slack/main.py", line 13, in
toolkit = SlackToolkit()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pydantic.errors.PydanticUserError: SlackToolkit is not fully defined; you should define WebClient, then call SlackToolkit.model_rebuild().

I've tried to add WebClient but then fail on get_tools().

Can anyone help?
