Description

Fix: Workflow tasks cannot get the result from previous dependent tasks.

In https://github.com/strands-agents/tools/blob/main/src/strands_tools/workflow.py
the code:
content = result.get("content", []) if hasattr(result, "get") else getattr(result, "content", [])
is supposed to get the result from previous tasks and save it in the context for later use.

However, the code cannot parse the object of AgentResult type and get the result from the agent run.

I also updated the test cases in tests/test_workflow.py to mock up the ActionResult return value.

No need to update the documentation, as it's the expected behavior from the workflow tool.
