I am trying tobuild a text to SQL Agent using Ollama and Llama 3.1, connected to a SQLite database. The behaviour I'm expecting is that the agent, calls the list of tables to see, generates an SQL query to answer my natural language question, verifies if the query is legit, then executes it, and anlayze the result and gives me a natural language answer. But when I execute the code, It seems the execute_query node does not receive the generated SQL query, and it makes the agent run into an endless loop until it hits a timeout.
Here are the results:

Could you please help me find out what section is causing the issue?
I was expecting the agent to execute the query, retrieve the result, and provide a natural language answer that stops the loop. Instead it seems stuck in an infinite loop.
