Additional Information
Add MakeFeatureLayer and use that output as input to 'SaveToLayerFile'. like so arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer(lyr, "lyr1") arcpy.SaveToLayerFile_management("lyr1", out_layer_file) This makes the layer object something that the geoprocessing tools know how to work with.Workaround
Run the Python script in the Python window of ArcGIS Pro.Steps to Reproduce
