 | **Function Calling LLM** *(optional)* | Specifies the language model that will handle the tool calling for this agent, overriding the crew function calling LLM if passed. Default is `None`.                                                                                          |
 | **Max Iter** *(optional)*  | The maximum number of iterations the agent can perform before being forced to give its best answer. Default is `15`.                                                                                                                           |
 | **Max RPM** *(optional)*   | The maximum number of requests per minute the agent can perform to avoid rate limits. It's optional and can be left unspecified, with a default value of `None`.                                                                               |

 | **Verbose** *(optional)*   | Setting this to `True` configures the internal logger to provide detailed execution logs, aiding in debugging and monitoring. Default is `False`.                                                                                              |
 | **Allow Delegation** *(optional)* | Agents can delegate tasks or questions to one another, ensuring that each task is handled by the most suitable agent. Default is `True`.                                                                                                       |
 | **Step Callback** *(optional)* | A function that is called after each step of the agent. This can be used to log the agent's actions or to perform other operations. It will overwrite the crew `step_callback`.                                                               |
