Clean up a schema dictionary for display by removing internal/complex fields.


### `extract_output_schema_from_responses` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/utilities/openapi/schemas.py#L461" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
extract_output_schema_from_responses(responses: dict[str, ResponseInfo], schema_definitions: dict[str, Any] | None = None, openapi_version: str | None = None) -> dict[str, Any] | None
```


Extract output schema from OpenAPI responses for use as MCP tool output schema.

This function finds the first successful response (200, 201, 202, 204) with a
JSON-compatible content type and extracts its schema. If the schema is not an
object type, it wraps it to comply with MCP requirements.

**Args:**
- `responses`: Dictionary of ResponseInfo objects keyed by status code
- `schema_definitions`: Optional schema definitions to include in the output schema
- `openapi_version`: OpenAPI version string, used to optimize nullable field handling

**Returns:**
- MCP-compliant output schema with potential wrapping, or None if no suitable schema found
