Feature Request

allow tools to invoke the models that user has configured and available, allow user to select which model is available for tool use.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Retrieval tool may produce a lot of unrelated token, especially web based crawling, having a llm handling summarization or data extraction would allow a more coherent discussion especially with smaller models

Describe the solution you'd like
allow valves to have a model type, with a dropdown of existing models
a model in a valve is callable in streaming or normal mode for production

Describe alternatives you've considered
reading the environment variables and guessing which models are available and where, but the limit here is that the tool wouldn't know which model the user wants to be used
