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 ## Literal error text ``` additionalProperties: false ``` ## Environment GitHub issue DeadantCo/agno #469; state=open ## Trigger / context 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.
