assistant2: Handle empty tool results by providing placeholder text (#27130)

This is surprising, but the Anthropic API returns a 400 if a tool output
is an empty string because it thinks we're attaching a `tool use`
without a corresponding `tool result`, but we are not, it's just empty
(which seems totally reasonable) 🙃

Release Notes:

- N/A
```
