Research direction
Start by reviewing the machine configuration parameter documentation linked in the issue and comparing the supported types with DSC v3. Then trace how GuestConfiguration handles configuration parameters and identify the existing tests or validation for basic types. Done means object and array parameters are accepted consistently with the supported DSC v3 behavior.

Description
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
Machine configuration is positioned as replacement for Azure Automation DSC but it does not support pretty basic feature of passing more complex objects then basic types (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/machine-configuration/how-to/create-policy-definition#:~:text=types%20for%20parameters%3A-,String,Float,-The%20cmdlets%20New)
Verbose logs showing the problem
Suggested solution to the issue
Objects and arrays shall be supported since they are supported in DSC v3
