Roo Code Task Context (Optional)
This PR was created with the assistance of Roo Code to address user feedback.
Description
This PR attempts to address Issue #10246 by improving the error message shown when the model fails to use tools in its response.
The issue reports that users of third-party API providers (OpenAI Compatible) frequently encounter the error message "The model provided text/reasoning but did not call any required tools." This is often caused by the API provider not fully supporting native tool calling.
Changes:

Additional Notes
This is an attempt to help users who encounter tool calling issues with third-party API providers. The existing Tool Protocol setting already provides the solution, but users may not know to look for it. This change surfaces that guidance directly in the error message.
Feedback and guidance are welcome!
