What is the issue?

Until this change in v0.9.6, tool call parsing would parse arguments that came before the function name (like: {"arguments": {"arg1": "1"}, "name": "my_function"}).

Some models like granite3.2:8b and granite3.3:8b tend to call tools in this format. This is an unexpected change since it was previously working in v0.9.2.

Relevant log output

Here's a tool call from granite3.3:8b that previously worked but is now causing the issue:

"<|tool_call|>[{\"arguments\": {\"md\": \"| Month    | Savings   |\\n|----------|------------|\\n| January  | $250       |\\n| February | $80        |\\n| March    | $420       |\"}, \"name\": \"from_markdown\"}]"
