Parsing error when tools are enabled

I'm using the latest GGUF, redownloaded after issue #1 was closed.

The problem: if you send a request with at least one tool (regardless of whether the model does a tool call), and the model generates a markdown link (i.e. [link](http-colon-slash-slash-example-dot-com)), you will get an error like the one pasted below.

To replicate:

Enable tools in your favorite frontend
Prompt the model with "What is the format for markdown links?"

Error seen:

Failed to parse input at pos 1248: Link Text](URL)`

For example:  
`[Google](https://www.google.com)`  

This renders as clickable text "Google" linking to `https://www.google.com`. Optional variations include using underscores for the link text (e.g., `_Google_`) or adding a display name in parentheses. No tool calls are required for this explanation.

I am also having a similar error when using the web search tool in OpenWebUI. It gives me a parsing error. Not only in OpenWebUI but in other front-ends too, like Page Assist.

Having the same problem, wondering if this is a model/template issue or runtime (llama.cpp) issue?
