ansible template error while templating string: expected token 'end of print statement error

I am probably missing something simple, but here goes.

I am new to ansible and am using the DellEMC openmanage module to gather IDRAC information. The first step is to be able to gather the info. I am having a problem parsing the output. Play book below.

'''

[root@<hostname> scripts]# cat test2.yml
---

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: False
  connection: local

  collections:
    - dellemc.openmanage

  tasks:

    - name: include file
      include_vars: idrac.yml

    - name: Get Hardware Inventory
      dellemc.openmanage.idrac_system_info:
        idrac_ip: "{{ item }}"
        idrac_user: "{{idrac_user}}"
        idrac_pwd: "{{idrac_pwd}}"
      loop: "{{ idrac_ip }}"
      register: gather_system_info

    - name: Parse
      debug:
        var: "{{ item['system_info']['System'][0]['ChassisServiceTag'] }}"
      with_items: "{{ gather_system_info['results'] }}"

I will shorten output cause it is like thousands of lines but this is the original output I am trying to parse from. Error received was "fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "template error while templating string: expected token 'end of print statement', got '<service_tag'. String: {{<Service_tag>}}"}

Your usage of debug is incorrect.

    - name: Parse
      debug:
        var: "{{ item['system_info']['System'][0]['ChassisServiceTag'] }}"

var expands the expression you pass to it, and {{ }} expands the expression it contains. By using both together you end up templating the result of a previous templating operation, which rarely works (and is never a good idea.) This should be either:

    - name: Parse
      debug:
        var: item['system_info']['System'][0]['ChassisServiceTag']

or

    - name: Parse
      debug:
        msg: "{{ item['system_info']['System'][0]['ChassisServiceTag'] }}"
