When does this happen?

IF OpenAIAgent memory.to_string() raises TypeError because ChatCompletionMessageToolCall is not JSON serializable.

How others solved it

THEN Use memory.to_dict() to obtain a serializable dictionary, then serialize that dict with json.dumps or pickle.dumps. Do not rely on the built-in .to_string() method for OpenAI site_1.

# Instead of memory.to_string():
memory_dict = agent.memory.to_dict()
json_str = json.dumps(memory_dict)
# Or for binary persistence:
import pickle
serialized = pickle.dumps(memory_dict)
