Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10444

Good day, in the /api/chat endpoint, when attempting to submit a query that includes tools, we get the following:
{"error":"registry.ollama.ai/library/codellama:latest does not support tools"}

it would be great if there were a key in the show api that told us whether the model supported tools or not, this way we can prevent from submitting tools requests to a model that doesn't support it

EXAMPLE
curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "codellama:latest",
"prompt": "What is the current weather",
"tools": [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_current_weather_by_location",
"description": "Get detailed weather conditions by US postal code or city name.",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "US postal code (ZIP) or city name."
}
},
"required": ["location"]
}
}
}
]
}'

Thank you for that @rick-github however when attempting to run on my side, i get null

I am running ollama version is 0.6.2

curl -s localhost:11434/api/show -d '{"model":"qwen2.5:0.5b"}' | jq .capabilities
null

I also attempted to run it without jq and grep out anything that resembled your output but wasn't able to make that work

NOTE: I also tried this command on the other models installed on my system and they all return null
