Text Template added to 3rd Message of tool results

I’m currently working on a task where my agent is set to perform 5 search queries using DuckDuckGo. Each result from these queries is appended to the agent’s message data structure.

I’ve observed that every third search result includes a text template pulled from slices['tools'], which is located in the file crewai/translations/en.json.

Here is the Slice.tool-template text:

<Result output of SearchTool> ....

You ONLY have access to the following tools, and should NEVER make up tools that are not listed here:

Tool Name: DuckDuckGo Search
Tool Arguments: {{'query': {{'description': 'The term you want to search for.', 'type': 'str'}}}}
Tool Description: Useful for finding up-to-date information from the web.

IMPORTANT: Use the following format in your response:

```
Thought: you should always think about what to do
Action: the action to take, only one name of [DuckDuckGo Search], just the name, exactly as it's written.
Action Input: the input to the action, just a simple JSON object, enclosed in curly braces, using \" to wrap keys and values.
Observation: the result of the action
```

Once all necessary information is gathered, return the following format:

```
Thought: I now know the final answer
Final Answer: the final answer to the original input question
```

Has anyone else come across a similar issue? Any insights or suggestions on why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated! I would like to turn this “feature” or “bug” off because it confuses the LLM regarding the next search query to perform.

As a debug background here the structure of the agents messages list:
    message[0]: Storing the System Prompt (=Agents configuration)
    message[1]: Storing the User Prompt (=Task configuration)
    message[2]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 1)
    message[3]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 2)
    message[4]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 3 + Slice.tool-Template )
    message[5]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 4)
    message[6]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 5)
    message[7]: Storing Assistant Result (=here the DuckDuckGo Search Result for Query 6 + Slice.tool-Template )
    ...
