Arguments to the macro are separated by commas.  Your text gets
truncated at the first comma.

>From the manual:

/============================================================\
| You can define text snippets with                          |
|                                                            |
|      #+MACRO: name   replacement text $1, $2 are arguments |
|                                                            |
| which can be referenced {{{name(arg1, arg2)}}}.            |
