What is the issue?

The LLM deepseek-r1:14b is tagged as supporting tools but when checking the capabilities the tools is missing in the capabilities section. When providing tools to deepseek-r1:14b and asking it to use it, the model responds with:

{"error":"registry.ollama.ai/library/deepseek-r1:14b does not support tools"}

It seems that a similar issue was logged under DeepSeek-R1 0528 models missing tool calling updates in Ollama registry #10993
