## Summary - Add `web_search = "indexed"` alongside `disabled`, `cached`, and `live`. - Use that same resolved mode for both hosted and standalone web search. - For hosted search, send `index_gated_web_access: true` with external web access enabled only when `indexed` is selected. - For standalone search, preserve the existing boolean wire values for existing modes (`cached` maps to `false` and `live` to `true`) and send `"indexed"` only for `indexed`; `disabled` keeps the tool unavailable. - Carry the mode through managed configuration requirements and generated schemas. ## Why Indexed search provides a middle ground between cached-only search and unrestricted live page fetching. Search queries can remain live while direct page fetches are limited to URLs admitted by the server. The existing `web_search` setting remains the single source of truth, so hosted and standalone executors cannot drift into different access modes. Without an explicit `indexed` selection, the existing model-visible tool and request shapes are unchanged. ```toml web_search = "indexed" [features] standalone_web_search = true ``` ## Validation - `just fmt` - `just test -p codex-api` (`126 passed`) - `just test -p codex-web-search-extension` (`7 passed`) - `just test -p codex-core code_mode_can_call_indexed_standalone_web_search` (`1 passed`) - Focused configuration, hosted request, standalone request, and managed-requirement coverage is included in the PR; remaining suites run in CI. The full workspace test suite was not run locally.
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
