[Bug]: TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "dict") to str

[linsida1]

What happened?

environment

• autogen 0.4
• litellm 1.53.1
• ollama version is 0.3.14
• ollama model is qwen2.5:14b-instruct-q4_K_M.

Infomation

I use autogen+litellm+ollama for my local test.
when doing some tool_call, litellm raise ERROR in token_counter method : TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "dict") to str.

I debug it with vscode , I found the function_arguments is dict , not str.

Can some one help check it is a bug ?
Can just change it from (which at line 1638 of utils.py file):
text += function_arguments
to
text += str(function_arguments)

can you share the request being made to litellm for repro?

I also got the same issue using ollama_chat/llama3.1 running locally (Meta Llama 3.1 8B Instruct). Interestingly ollama/llama3.1 did not have the same issue - I expect because it does not track consumed tokens.

Adding str(function_arguments) solved the issue.

@krrishdholakia yes . I make a simple demo to reproduce this error.
please check itl,Thank you.

I think we're hitting this too as a downstream user of litellm - see robusta-dev/holmesgpt#246
Any ETA on getting it fixed?
