+`approvedArguments` is optional. When omitted or `null`, the original model-proposed `arguments` remain authoritative. When present, it must be a full replacement object/value that still matches the same registered dynamic-tool schema; clients cannot rename the tool or change its schema.
+
+Event semantics stay narrow:
+
+1. `item/started` and `item/tool/call` always show the model-proposed arguments.
+2. If the client returns valid `approvedArguments`, Codex treats them as the authoritative executed arguments.
+3. `item/completed` uses the authoritative final arguments.
+4. When the authoritative arguments differ from the proposed ones, Codex records a developer-role note so the next model step reasons from the approved arguments instead of the earlier proposal.
+
 ## Skills
 
 Invoke a skill by including `$<skill-name>` in the text input. Add a `skill` input item (recommended) so the backend injects full skill instructions instead of relying on the model to resolve the name.
