The output-schema is used to reference and organize dataset-schemas. With output-schema you can have menu something like this screen shot. each menu can point to other resource such as a html in your key-value storage, your defined data-schema specific view, or etc. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1450604439034662983/1450665580284739776/image.png?ex=69435d1a&is=69420b9a&hm=a603e4a947a095b2708ea4ccb64195a8be1eaa503ad546c926cd14c47f76f430&
Whereas the dataset schema is a schema describing each item stored in a dataset.

The output schema is a newer concept which allows you more control over how output is displayed to the user, whether output through key-value stores or dataset schemas. Output schemas are also exposed programmatically such it is discoverable e.g. by LLMs if interacting with your actor through MCP.
