I am not sure why...you want the LLM to solve problems not come up with answers itself. It's allowed to use tools, precisely because it tends to make stuff up. In general, only if you're benchmarking LLMs you care about whether the LLM itself provided the answer or it used a tool. If you ask it to convert the notation of sheet music it might use a tool, and it's probably the right decision.
