Additional Information
This is expected behavior. The arcpy.LayerToKML function requires a layer as input (feature layer, raster layer, mosaic layer, group layer, or layer file) and not JSON. The workaround makes the JSON file a feature set, which meets the tool's requirements.Workaround
For script tools, replace the following line in the Python script:
input_feature_set = arcpy.GetParameter(0)
with the following:
try:
input_feature_set = arcpy.FeatureSet(arcpy.GetParameter(0).JSON)
except:
input_feature_set = arcpy.GetParameter(0)
