## Summary
- Ensure direct namespaced MCP tool groups are emitted with a non-empty
namespace description even when namespace metadata is missing or blank.
- Add regression coverage for missing MCP namespace descriptions.
## Cause
Latest `main` can serialize a direct namespaced MCP tool group with an
empty top-level `description`. The namespace description path used
`unwrap_or_default()` when `tool_namespaces` did not include metadata
for that namespace, so the outbound Responses API payload could contain
a tool like `{"type":"namespace","description":""}`. The Responses API
rejects that because namespace tool descriptions must be a non-empty
string.
## Fix
- Add a fallback namespace description: `Tools in the <namespace>
namespace.`
- Preserve provided namespace descriptions after trimming, but treat
blank descriptions as missing.
### Issue I am seeing
This is what I am seeing on the local build.

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