Health check. Confirms the deepseek-mcp server is alive.

Use this before delegate_to_deepseek if you're not sure whether DeepSeek is configured. Returns version, mode (auto/off), and whether config is loadable.

Delegate a focused task to DeepSeek as a real sub-agent.

DeepSeek runs its own agent loop with Read/Write/Edit/Bash/Glob/Grep/NotebookEdit tools inside the configured workspace. Use this for batch / repetitive / mechanical tasks where you want to save main-conversation tokens and let DeepSeek do the heavy lifting end-to-end.

Good fits:

• Extract i18n keys from N files into JSON

• Translate large chunks of text

• Scan logs for patterns

• Bulk refactors with a clear pattern

• One-off ETL scripts

Bad fits (do it yourself instead):

• Architectural design / cross-file judgment

• Bug root-cause analysis

• Tasks requiring project-specific idioms from CLAUDE.md or other repo conventions

Args: task: Clear description of what DeepSeek should accomplish, including success criteria and file paths involved. context: Optional additional context — project conventions, related files DeepSeek should consider, output format requirements. Include this when project-specific knowledge matters.

Returns: A summary of what DeepSeek did, including files affected, turns used, tokens consumed, and any issues. Always verify the result by reading a sample of the affected files before declaring success to the user.
