All anti-seize has glass beads in it, that's what makes it anti-seize instead of grease. Their purpose is to provide stand-off room between the parts so that as the grease itself dries the parts still don't contact one another and therefore minimize any wear.

You are correct, not all anti-seize products are to be used in disc brakes systems. You have to read the label/packaging.

The correct anti-seize is one that says "made for use in disc brake systems and other high-temperature applicatons".

Just an example to show how specialized anti-seize has become... if you use the wrong anti-seize on a O2 sensor, the engine goes into open-loop. The reason? Only an electrically conductive anti-seize may be used on self-grounding electrical parts, like O2 sensors.
