Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

8 of 8 tools

Documented tools (8)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

codex

Execute prompts with file context, session resume, and sandbox control. Multi-turn conversations via session IDs. Use for free-form review prompts; see Code review with this CLI.

listSessions

List active conversation sessions with metadata (turn count, model, timestamps).

mcpStatus

Report what Codex says about each MCP server it knows about: auth type, tool inventory, and whether it initialized. Optional diagnostic mode adds explicit failure states and error text.

ping

Health check with CLI version, capabilities, and concurrency diagnostics (activeCount, queueDepth).

query

Lightweight text analysis. No repo context, no sessions. Runs in an isolated temp directory.

review

Native diff-aware Codex review via codex exec review --json. No caller prompt; supports uncommitted, base branch, and commit review modes.

search

Web search via codex --search. Returns synthesized answers with source URLs.

structured

JSON Schema validated output via Ajv. Data extraction, classification, or any task needing machine-parseable output.
