How do you use context?

Great library, thanks for making it @mikehostetler!

How do you use context? I want to pass in my Phoenix app's currently logged in user's scope to my tools/actions so that I can run some db queries.

Thanks! Context is another map of data that can be embedded into an Instruction or in a call to Jido.Exec.run - the idea behind the context was that it would pass along when multiple Action calls were made - but for my practical use lately I just pass as another parameter

Hmm I might not be understanding the overall architecture.

When I look at the docs, I see an example of Jido.Workflow.run, which I presume can receive context? I don't see Jido.Exec.run. I'm guessing that the two are basically the same for my purposes (ways of executing actions?)

But how do agents figure into it? And what do you mean by passing in another parameter--to where, and how is it consumed?

Just started a new thread btw to discuss the broader architecture, I think there are some big gaps in my understanding of how it all fits together: #43

Jido.Workflow.run is the older method - but currently published on Hex

Jido.Exec.run is the new path - but is unreleased yet - the release will happen shortly
