Rennie 3a9df58d06 Propagate thread id in MCP tool metadata (#18093)
## Summary
- attach the authoritative Codex thread id to MCP tool request
`_meta.threadId` for model-initiated tool calls
- attach the same thread id for manual `mcpServer/tool/call` requests
before invoking the MCP server
- cover both metadata helper behavior and the manual app-server MCP path
in tests


needed because the Rust app-server is the last place that still has
authoritative knowledge of “this model-generated MCP tool call belongs
to conversation/thread X” before the request leaves Codex and reaches
Hoopa. It adds threadId to MCP request metadata in the model-generated
tool-call path, using sess.conversation_id, and also does the same for
the manual mcpServer/tool/call path.

## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-core
mcp_tool_call_thread_id_meta_is_added_to_request_meta --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
mcp_server_tool_call_returns_tool_result`

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 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

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.
