**4** tools available. First 4:

- `DEEPSEEK_CREATE_ANTHROPIC_MESSAGE` — Create Anthropic Message — Tool to create a model response using DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format with support for system prompts, tool calling, streaming, and thinking mode. Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'. Supports extended thinking, function calling with tools, and streaming responses. Note: Images and documents are not supported in content blocks.
- `DEEPSEEK_CREATE_CHAT_COMPLETION` — Create Chat Completion — Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).
- `DEEPSEEK_GET_USER_BALANCE` — Get User Balance — Tool to get user's current account balance including granted and topped-up balances with detailed breakdown by currency (CNY or USD). Use when you need to check if the user has sufficient balance for API calls or to view detailed balance information.
- `DEEPSEEK_LIST_MODELS` — List Models — Tool to list currently available DeepSeek models and provides basic information about each one such as the owner and availability. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API calls.

## How agents use DeepSeek

Inside a Definable workflow, DeepSeek is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → DeepSeek** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from DeepSeek (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → DeepSeek** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into DeepSeek (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → DeepSeek** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via DeepSeek (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every DeepSeek call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
