+"""String tools example Fire CLI.
+
+This module demonstrates the use of Fire without specifying a target component.
+By calling Fire() without arguments in main(), all functions defined in this
+module become available as CLI commands.
+
+Example usage:
+  string_tools reverse "Hello World"
+  string_tools uppercase "hello"
+  string_tools count-words "Hello world from Fire"
+"""
