How can an agent resolve this problem? [openai-agents / OpenRouter] OpenRouterResponses injects additionalProperties:false into schemas for non-OpenAI providers
## Observed symptom
[Bug] OpenRouterResponses injects additionalProperties: false into schemas for non-OpenAI providers (xAI/Grok rejects with 400)
Copied from https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/issues/7455
### Description
When using `OpenRouterResponses` with `x-ai/grok-4.20`, all requests with `output_schema` (structured output) are rejected by the xAI provider with HTTP 400:
```
Schema validation failed: [standard_violation] /properties/properties/additionalProperties:
property schema 'false' is not supported
```
The root cause is that `OpenRouterResponses` inherits from `OpenAIResponses`, which unconditionally sanitizes JSON schemas to comply with OpenAI's structured output spec — specifically injecting `additionalProperties: false` into all object-type schemas. xAI does not support this schema property.
Setting `strict_output=False` does **not** prevent this — it only controls the `format.strict` flag in the API request, not t

### Steps to Reproduce
```python
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openrouter import OpenRouterResponses
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
class MyDecision(BaseModel):
action: str = Field(min_length=1)
reason: str = Field(min_length=1)
agent = Agent(
model=OpenRouterResponses(
id="x-ai/grok-4.20",
strict_output=False, # does not help
),
output_schema=MyDecision,
use_json_mode=False,
)
agent.print_response("What should I do today?")
# → HTTP 400: additionalProperties: property schema 'false' is not supported
```
### Agent Configuration (if applicable)
Any agent using `OpenRouterResponses` with a non-Open
