Model does not support tools

Error

<model-name> does not support tools

Why this happens

Agent mode and Power Mode require tool-calling (function calling) support. Not all models support this — particularly older or smaller local models.

Fix

Switch to a model that supports tools

Free Models with tool support:

• llama-3.3-70b
• llama-4-maverick
• deepseek-v3
• deepseek-v4-pro
• kimi-k2.6

Ollama models with tool support:

• qwen2.5-coder (7b/14b/32b)
• llama3.1 (8b/70b)
• mistral (7b)
• command-r

Models that do NOT support tools:

• dolphincoder
• codellama
• phind-codellama
• Most models under 7B parameters

Use a non-agent mode

If you want to keep using a model without tool support, switch from Agent mode to Ask mode — it doesn't require tools.
