What is the issue?

it seems it's not possible to use deepseek-r1 with tool capability! I'm trying to use this model with Agent mode in github copilot but it seems this model can't be used for this mode.

>>> /show info
  Model
    architecture        qwen3     
    parameters          8.2B      
    context length      131072    
    embedding length    4096      
    quantization        Q4_K_M    

  Capabilities
    completion    
    thinking      

  Parameters
    stop           "<|begin▁of▁sentence|>"    
    stop           "<|end▁of▁sentence|>"      
    stop           "<|User|>"                 
    stop           "<|Assistant|>"            
    temperature    0.6                          
    top_p          0.95

>>> 
➜  ~ ollama -v
ollama version is 0.11.5

Expected behavior: this models should support tool calling capability.

I'm not sure the issue is on the Ollama server side or the modelfile available in ollama models.
