What is Unexpected token a in JSON at position 0?

I am getting an error that says SyntaxError: Unexpected token a in JSON at position 0 and I cannot find any information on what "a" means. I know that the JSON is not undefined. Can anyone help me understand what is causing this error?

Here is the code block that is causing the error:

let db_creds = await getDBCredentials();
console.log(db_creds)
const pool = new Pool(JSON.parse(db_creds['SecretString']));
console.log(pool)
