## Why The tool-extraction work needs one shared executable-tool seam that hosts and tool owners can depend on without reaching into `codex-core`. Landing that seam first makes the later tool-family ports incremental and keeps the reusable contract separate from any one migration. ## What changed - add a new `codex-tool-api` crate and workspace wiring - move the common executable-tool contracts into that crate: `ToolBundle`, `ToolDefinition`, `ToolExecutor`, `ToolCall`, `ToolInput`, `ToolOutput`, `JsonToolOutput`, and `ToolError` - keep host state generic through `ToolBundle<C>` / `ToolCall<C>` so later integrations can provide their own runtime context without baking core types into the API - carry the host signals the runtime will need later, including parallel-call support and mutability probing - leave existing tool families in place for now; this PR only establishes the reusable API surface - add the Bazel target and lockfile updates for the new crate ## Testing - `cargo test -p codex-tool-api`
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.
