[BUG]FileWriterTool fails when Agent passes Input Arguments

Description

Tested the FileWriterTool separately and it worked, but when passed to the agent, it fails for some reason.

Steps to Reproduce

Import tool: from crewai_tools import FileWriterTool
Pass it to the agent in tools parameter: tools=[FileWriterTool]
Run crew

Expected behavior

A file is created and modified based on user input.

Screenshots/Code snippets

FileWriterTest:

from crewai_tools import FileWriterTool

# Initialize the tool
file_writer_tool = FileWriterTool()

# Define the arguments as a dictionary
arguments = {
    'filename': 'example.md',
    'content':  'This is an example content',
    'directory': '/Users/xxx/Desktop/developerCrew/ODIN_1',
    'overwrite': True  
}

# Call the tool with the dictionary of arguments
result = file_writer_tool.run(**arguments)
print(result)

Tool Import and Use in Agent:

from crewai import Agent
# Importing crewAI tools
from crewai_tools import (
    DirectoryReadTool,
    DirectorySearchTool,
    FileReadTool,
    TXTSearchTool,
    VisionTool,
    FileWriterTool
)

Evidence

Crew Response:

#### Minimal Content Test

### Thought Process
I will ensure the dictionary keys and values are accurately formatted and attempt to write minimal content to the `requirements.md` file again.

### Action
**Action:** File Writer Tool  
**Action Input:** {"filename": "requirements.md", "content": "Minimal content test", "directory": "/Users/xxx/Desktop/developerCrew/ODIN_1", "overwrite": True}

### Observation
Error: the Action Input is not a valid key, value dictionary.

### Thought Process
It appears that I continually encountered issues with formatting the content correctly for the `File Writer Tool`. Given these persistent issues, I will now proceed to create the necessary module folders in the directory `/Users/xxx/Desktop/developerCrew/ODIN_1/code`.

Possible Solution

I'm not sure about the solution. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Additional context

My assumption is that the issue is with how the Agent is passing arguments to the FileWriterTool.

I am encountering this as well. The problem is that "overwrite" is being passed true, not True, or false instead of False, as in this example:

## Tool Output: 
Error: the Action Input is not a valid key, value dictionary.

If I say something like "never overwrite files" in my task directions, then "overwrite" is passed false instead of False.
