You don't need to define "ok" - see section 7.15.2, the last paragraph
of RFC 7950:

   If the action operation invocation succeeded and no output parameters
   are returned, the <rpc-reply> contains a single <ok/> element defined
   in [RFC6241].  If output parameters are returned, they are encoded as
   child elements to the <rpc-reply> element defined in [RFC6241], in
   the same order as they are defined within the "output" statement.
