🟡 Unsupported tool schemas are exported
For reserved parameter names or schemas nested beyond five levels, to_phonic_tool_definitions exports definitions Phonic rejects. Those existing LiveKit tools cannot be reused through Responses.

that's fine, we should let Phonic do the validation instead of doing validation in this helper

Motivation
LiveKit's generation APIs operate within an active agent or realtime session.
Phonic's Responses API supports a complementary use case: generating the next
assistant turn from supplied conversation history without starting a live
session.
From our understanding, LiveKit does not currently expose an equivalent
stateless generation endpoint. Applications using this capability should still
be able to reuse the tools already defined in their LiveKit
ToolContext,rather than maintaining a second set of tool schemas.
Change
Add
to_phonic_tool_definitions(), a small adapter that converts a LiveKitToolContextinto the schema-only definitions accepted by Phonic's ResponsesAPI.
The helper:
for executing returned tool calls
This adds support for stateless generation without introducing another
generation or tool-execution path inside LiveKit.
Usage
