fix(guardrails): inspect Responses API output and inbound tool calls for Akamai FAI

Output extraction returned "" for anything that was not a ModelResponse,
so a /v1/responses reply (ResponsesAPIResponse) had its generated text and
tool-call arguments released without a detect request. Extract text and
function-call arguments from ResponsesAPIResponse.output, covering both the
non-streaming hook and the streaming iterator (the terminal
response.completed event carries the full response).

Request-side inspection only read message content via iter_message_text, so
a prompt-injection payload placed in messages[].tool_calls[].function.arguments,
the legacy function_call, or a Responses-API input function_call item reached
the model uninspected. Include tool-call and function-call names and arguments
in the text sent to Akamai.
