Yes, as referred to by Peter we solved this by having a single radio-button and
some dummy text. If you just have a single radio it doesn't show up and only
displays the text. So it basically just gives me the execute button. Snippet
attached below;
We used it for a tool that refreshes some data.
Alex
<tool id="REFRESH_DATA" name="RefreshDataSets" Version="1.0.Alx"
force_history_refresh="True">
<description>: Data refresh Tool</description>
<command interpreter="python">
refreshData.py
$input
$output
</command>
<inputs>
<param name="input" type="select" display="radio" size="250"
label="Dynamically Refresh the Data" />
</inputs>
<outputs>
<data format="tabular" name="output" />
</outputs>
<tests>
</tests>
<help>
Yeaah something here :)
</help>
</tool>

Yes, but not everyone puts that as a number one priority for their use of
Galaxy. Also given software inevitably changes, the version of the
underlying tools on a Galaxy server is potentially in flux. As another
example, we have local copy of the NCBI NR BLAST database setup
as nr, which is kept in sync with the latest releases. This implicitly
means any workflow using this database (e.g. identify novel proteins,
those with no matches against NR) can give different results as the
database changes. IIRC the Galaxy documentation suggests using
multiple copies of a database, each date stamped, to try and ensure
reproducibility.
Anyway, tools with no inputs was brought up at the end of last year:
