Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name Description

Name	Description
deepseekA	Fast, cheap task execution via DeepSeek V4 Flash (non-thinking mode). Best for: classification, summarization, JSON edits, table generation, template population, pattern-copy refactors, inbox triage. Not for: architecture decisions, judgment under ambiguity, security policy, client-facing final prose. Typical latency: 2-5s. Use `advise` when you need deeper reasoning.
adviseA	Deep reasoning via DeepSeek V4 Pro with thinking mode enabled. Use when `deepseek` is not sufficient: judgment under ambiguity, architectural tradeoffs, second opinions on consequential decisions, complex multi-factor analysis, or anything where being wrong has real cost. Defaults to effort=max — exhaustive reasoning. Returns structured response: CONCLUSION / REASONING / WATCH OUT. More expensive (~6x flash) and slower (60-120s). Use effort=medium or high only when you need a quicker lighter read.
