Subject: [PATCH] fix(agent): recognize OpenAI Responses API tool-call shape in
 native tool loop

is_tool_call_list() and extract_tool_call_info() only recognized
Chat-Completions-style ({"function": {...}}), Anthropic-style
({"name", "input"}), and Gemini-style tool-call shapes. The Responses
API's function_call output items are flat dicts shaped
{"id", "name", "arguments"} with no nested "function" key and no
"input" key, so they matched none of the checks.

This caused is_tool_call_list() to misclassify a genuine tool call as
a plain text answer, so the native tool loop returned the raw
tool-call list as the agent's final output instead of executing the
tool. Even after recognizing the shape, extract_tool_call_info() would
have passed an empty arguments dict, since it only read "input" for
the dict fallback.

Verified against LLM(api="responses") with tools attached: the agent
now correctly executes the tool with the parsed arguments instead of
returning the unexecuted tool-call JSON as its answer.
