https://docs.anythingllm.com/agent-not-using-tools

The ability for an LLM to call a tool is entirely dependent on the model itself. We give the model the tools, but if it doesn't call it - there is no way for us to force it.

For what it is worth, if you are using the ollama distilled deepseek-r1 - it is very bad at following tool calls via the system prompt. Use another model for agent calls. If it is not known Ollama deepseek-r1 is not the same as Deepseek R1 on the deekseek platform. Which is why you would see differences in behavior
