Tool call format not being parsed correctly by Cline (VS Code extension)

#24
by sunislee - opened

Hi, I'm running the GGUF version (UD-Q4_K_XL) locally via LM Studio, and trying to use it with Cline (the agentic coding extension for VS Code).

The model correctly understands the task and attempts to call tools, but it outputs the tool call in this format:

list_filespath/Users/xxx

Cline doesn't recognize this as a structured tool call — it just prints the raw text, then the model repeats the same call again in the next turn (since it never gets a tool result back), and after a few retries Cline throws "repeated tool call failures."

Questions:

Is this the intended/standard tool-call output format for Laguna-S-2.1?
Is there a recommended chat template or client configuration that makes this compatible with Cline specifically?
I noticed a discussion (#22, "Very Impressed - 270/270 in my tool usage") mentioning successful tool usage — would appreciate knowing what client/setup was used there for comparison.

Thanks!

Same
