getResponse() throws 'Invalid final response' for "tool-only" turns

[thomai-d]

Problem

My system prompt instructs the model to not respond with text if not needed.
Sometimes, the model just calls the correct tools and does not return text.
In that case, getResponse() falsely throws Error: Invalid final response: empty or invalid output.

Suggested solution

I think the check in validateFinalResponse is too strict and should not throw when the model used tools in that turn.

Affected Version

0.7.0 / main-branch

Minimal repro

import { OpenRouter, tool } from '@openrouter/agent'
import { z } from 'zod'

const API_KEY = process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY
const MODEL = 'openai/gpt-5.4-mini'

const client = new OpenRouter({ apiKey: API_KEY })

const noteTool = tool({
  name: 'save_note',
  description: 'Save a note. Call this when the user asks you to note something down.',
  inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string() }),
  execute: async ({ text }) => {
    console.log(`[tool] save_note called with: "${text}"`)
    return { saved: true }
  },
})

const result = client.callModel({
  model: MODEL,
  instructions: 'When a tool call fully satisfies the user request, do not add any follow-up text. Respond with only the tool call.',
  input: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Please note: buy milk.' }],
  tools: [noteTool],
})

const response = await result.getResponse()

Result:

@thomai-d Can you confirm this is still an issue in the current state of the package?

[thomai-d]

Version 0.8.0 is working correctly. No error.

Thanks!
