CHAINED PR - note that base is eternal/hooks-pretooluse-bash, not main -- so the following PR should be first Matching post-tool hook to the pre-tool functionality here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/15211 So, PreToolUse calls for plain shell calls, allows blocking. This PostToolUse call runs after the command executed example run: ``` › as a test, run in parallel the following commands: - echo 'one' - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' - echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ⚠ MCP startup incomplete (failed: notion, linear) • Cruising through those three commands in parallel now, and I’ll share the exact outputs right after they land. • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes • Running PreToolUse hook: checking the observatory runes PreToolUse hook (blocked) warning: wizard-tower PreToolUse demo blocked a Bash command on purpose. feedback: PreToolUse demo blocked the command.

Response preview: one ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── • Ran them in parallel. Little wave report: - echo 'one' completed and returned one. - echo '[block-pre-tool-use]' was blocked before execution by the PreToolUse hook. - echo '[block-post-tool-use]' ran, but its result was blocked afterward by the PostToolUse hook. The hook messages were: - PreToolUse demo blocked the command. Remove [block-pre-tool-use] to continue. - PostToolUse demo blocked the result after execution. Remove [block-post-tool-use] to continue. › for the blocked messages (correctly blocked in this test) did the tool output land back into context? • Yeah, from this run: - PreToolUse block: the command itself did not execute, so no command output landed in context. Only the block message did. - PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context. Only the post-tool block message did. So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not. Nice clean guardrail, aloha. ```
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.
