Can't use OpenAI WebSearch tool

Hi there. I can't seem to use OpenAI's WebSearch tool from the AI SDK. I get this error (cut off due to Discord's text limit): 
...
        Types of property 'inputSchema' are incompatible.
          Type 'FlexibleSchema<{}>' is not assignable to type 'FlexibleSchema<any>'.

Essentially some mismatched types by the looks of it. Here's the code: 
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";

export const researchAgent = new Agent({
...
  tools: {
    web_search: openai.tools.webSearch({}),
  },
});
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";

export const researchAgent = new Agent({
...
  tools: {
    web_search: openai.tools.webSearch({}),
  },
});
Where web_search: openai.tools.webSearch({}) gives the error. Here are the versions I'm on (the latest, as far as I know): 
"@ai-sdk/openai": "^2.0.52",
"@mastra/core": "^0.21.1",
"ai": "^5.0.76",
"zod": "^4.1.12"
"@ai-sdk/openai": "^2.0.52",
"@mastra/core": "^0.21.1",
"ai": "^5.0.76",
"zod": "^4.1.12"
Is this the proper way to use the web search tool?
