Functions need to be registered to `UserProxyAgent`, which will be responsible for executing any function calls made by `AssistantAgent`. The assistant also needs to know the signature of functions that may be called. A special `define_function` function is registered, which registers a new function in `UserProxyAgent` and updates the configuration of the assistant.\n",
