canvrno-oai 282f42c0ce Add option to approve and remember MCP/Apps tool usage (#10584)
This PR adds a new approval option for app/MCP tool calls: “Allow and
remember” (session-scoped).
When selected, Codex stores a temporary approval and auto-approves
matching future calls for the rest of the session.

Added a session-scoped approval key (`server`, `connector_id`,
`tool_name`) and persisted it in `tool_approvals` as
`ApprovedForSession`.
On subsequent matching calls, approval is skipped and treated as
accepted.
- Updated the approval question options to conditionally include:
- Accept
- Allow and remember (conditional)
- Decline
- Cancel

The new “Allow and remember” option is only shown when all of these are
true:

1. The call is routed through the Codex Apps MCP server (codex_apps).
2. The tool requires approval based on annotations:
- read_only_hint == false, and
- destructive_hint == true or open_world_hint == true.
3. The tool includes a connector_id in metadata (used to build the
remembered approval key).

If no `connector_id` is present, the prompt still appears (when approval
is required), but only with the existing choices (Accept / Decline /
Cancel). Approval prompting in this path has an explicit early return
unless server == `codex_apps`.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
