[ERROR] File Writer tool has bugs that need fixing

[adanbu]

Faced unexpected behavior and some bugs in the File writer tool.

This error message upon usage without an ai agent

As well as this one when using an agent

Assign this to me as I'm working on fixing it.

Running the crewai tutorial here https://www.datacamp.com/tutorial/crew-ai fails at Step 2 with file_writer_tool._run

file_writer_tool = FileWriterTool()
result = file_writer_tool._run(filename='ai.txt', content = text, directory = '', overwrite=True)

giving an error: "An error occurred while writing to the file: 'bool' object has no attribute 'lower'"

You can change the overwrite value to "True" (string), and it should work
