This can cause the content to be empty when explanations are in the analysis channel. To work around this, complete the tool round by returning tool results as `role=\"tool\"` messages, which enables the model to generate the final content. |\n",

The template ensures that the prompt structure (e.g., special tokens, message boundaries like `<|eom|>`, and function call delimiters) matches what the model was trained or fine-tuned on. If you do not use the correct chat template, tool calling may fail or produce inconsistent results.\n",

    "```\n",
    "    class NewModelDetector(BaseFormatDetector):\n",
    "```\n",
    "3. Add the new detector to the MultiFormatParser class that manages all the format detectors."
