Often times I just get does not support tools error message when calling model with tools. I check a lot of models and it gets. I know I can see the tag on ollama registry website, but I was wondering if that can be gathered via API?

What I think would make sense is to add "features" to GET /api/tags endpoint, like "features": ["tools", "vision"].

Or is this something that can be gathered from registry api?
