      summary: Create response (OpenAI Responses format)
      description: Creates a response using the OpenAI Responses API format. Compatible with OpenAI's Responses API and tools that target it (e.g. the Codex CLI). Differs from `/v1/chat/completions` in that the input is a flat array of typed items, tools use a flat structure (no nested `function` key), and the output is returned as an `output` array of typed items.
