Npgsql.PostgresException: '42601: syntax error at or near "$1"'

Having the following query:

select count(t.*)
from template t
where t.available = true
    and exists (select *
                from tag
                join template_tag on template_tag.tag_id = tag.id
                where template_tag.template_id = t.id and tag.name in @tags)

And having set the dapper dynamic parameters to:

new { Tags = new List<string> { "tagExample" } }

I am getting the following error when running the query:

Npgsql.PostgresException: '42601: syntax error at or near "$1"'

I already checked PostgreSQL, Npgsql returning 42601: syntax error at or near "$1" and that didn't help so this must be a different problem.

Minimal example:

const string query = @"
    select count(t.*)
    from template t
    where exists (select *
                  from template_module tm
                  where tm.template_id = t.id and tm.module_properties in @props)
";

var parameters = new { props = new List<string> { "{}"} };

var result = await conn.ExecuteScalarAsync<int>(query, parameters);
