ImageMagick -format argument No decode delegate

I am getting errors when trying to use the format argument in any command, I tried to espace the using backslashes like this \"%m:%f %wx%h\" but it doesn't work either

I am running on a MAC M1, not sure if it could impact

Example

identify -units PixelsPerInch -format "%m:%f %wx%h"  238d99c5-8b58-46c7-ac94-b28b3898b8b8.jpeg

And I get

identify: unable to open image '%m:%f %wx%h': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3570. 
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/741.

I checked the decodes installed and jpeg is there
