CSV Tools - Data Analysis and Processing for CSV Files

This example demonstrates how to use CsvTools for CSV file operations.
Shows enable_ flag patterns for selective function access.
CsvTools is a small tool (<6 functions) so it uses enable_ flags.

Run: `uv pip install pandas` to install the dependencies
