We analyze the role of the general relativity (GR) on the nodal librations oftest particles located at the Habitable Zone (HZ) around a solar-mass star,which evolve under the influence of an eccentric planetary-mass perturber witha semimajor axis of 0.1 au. Based on a secular Hamiltonian up to quadrupolelevel, we derive analytical criteria that define the nodal libration region ofa HZ particle as a function of its eccentricity $e_2$ and inclination $i_2$,and the mass $m_1$ and the eccentricity $e_1$ of the perturber. We show that aHZ particle can experience nodal librations with orbital flips or purelyretrograde orbits for any $m_1$ and $e_1$ by adopting a suitable combination of$e_2$ and $i_2$. For $m_1 <$ 0.84 M$_\textrm{Jup}$, the greater the $m_1$value, the smaller the $e_2$ value above which nodal librations are possiblefor a given $e_1$. For $m_1 >$ 0.84 M$_{\textrm{Jup}}$, a HZ test particle canundergo nodal librations for any $e_2$ and appropriate values of $e_1$ and$i_2$. The same correlation between $m_1$ and $e_2$ is obtained for nodallibrations with orbital flips, but a mass limit for $m_1$ of 1.68M$_{\textrm{Jup}}$ is required in this case. Moreover, the more massive theinner perturber, the greater the nodal libration region associated with orbitalflips in the ($e_1$, $i_2$) plane for a given value of $e_2$. Finally, we findgood agreements between the analytical criteria and results from N-bodysimulations for values of $m_1$ ranging from Saturn-like planets tosuper-Jupiters.
