This shows the aggregated (stdout + stderr) buffer regardless of exit
code.
Many commands output useful / relevant info on stdout when returning a
non-zero exit code, or the same on stderr when returning an exit code of
0. Often, useful info is present on both stdout AND stderr. Also, the
model sees both. So it is confusing to see commands listed as "(no
output)" that in fact do have output, just on the stream that doesn't
match the exit status, or to see some sort of trivial output like "Tests
failed" but lacking any information about the actual failure.
As such, always display the aggregated output in the display. Transcript
mode remains unchanged as it was already displaying the text that the
model sees, which seems correct for transcript mode.
Some MCP servers expose a lot of tools. In those cases, it is reasonable
to allow/denylist tools for Codex to use so it doesn't get overwhelmed
with too many tools.
The new configuration options available in the `mcp_server` toml table
are:
* `enabled_tools`
* `disabled_tools`
Fixes#4796
We don't instruct the model to use citations, so it never emits them.
Further, ratatui [doesn't currently support rendering links into the
terminal with OSC 8](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/1028), so
even if we did parse citations, we can't correctly render them.
So, remove all the code related to rendering them.
This should make it more clear that specific tools come from MCP
servers.
#4806 requested that we add the server name but we already do that.
Fixes#4806
`ParsedCommand::Read` has a `name` field that attempts to identify the
name of the file being read, but the file may not be in the `cwd` in
which the command is invoked as demonstrated by this existing unit test:
0139f6780c/codex-rs/core/src/parse_command.rs (L250-L260)
As you can see, `tui/Cargo.toml` is the relative path to the file being
read.
This PR introduces a new `path: PathBuf` field to `ParsedCommand::Read`
that attempts to capture this information. When possible, this is an
absolute path, though when relative, it should be resolved against the
`cwd` that will be used to run the command to derive the absolute path.
This should make it easier for clients to provide UI for a "read file"
event that corresponds to the command execution.
This makes stdio mcp servers more flexible by allowing users to specify
the cwd to run the server command from and adding additional environment
variables to be passed through to the server.
Example config using the test server in this repo:
```toml
[mcp_servers.test_stdio]
cwd = "/Users/<user>/code/codex/codex-rs"
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "test_stdio_server"]
env_vars = ["MCP_TEST_VALUE"]
```
@bolinfest I know you hate these env var tests but let's roll with this
for now. I may take a stab at the env guard + serial macro at some
point.
This adds two new config fields to streamable http mcp servers:
`http_headers`: a map of key to value
`env_http_headers` a map of key to env var which will be resolved at
request time
All headers will be passed to all MCP requests to that server just like
authorization headers.
There is a test ensuring that headers are not passed to other servers.
Fixes#5180
keep a 1 cell margin at the right edge of the screen in the composer
(and in the user message in history).
this lets us print clear-to-EOL 1 char before the end of the line in
history, so that resizing the terminal will keep the background color
(at least in iterm/terminal.app). it also stops the cursor in the
textarea from floating off the right edge.

This adds a queryable auth status for MCP servers which is useful:
1. To determine whether a streamable HTTP server supports auth or not
based on whether or not it supports RFC 8414-3.2
2. Allow us to build a better user experience on top of MCP status
this fixes an issue where text lines with long words would sometimes
overflow.
- the default penalties for the OptimalFit algorithm allow overflowing
in some cases. this seems insane to me, and i considered just banning
the OptimalFit algorithm by disabling the 'smawk' feature on textwrap,
but decided to keep it and just bump the overflow penalty to ~infinity
since optimal fit does sometimes produce nicer wrappings. it's not clear
this is worth it, though, and maybe we should just dump the optimal fit
algorithm completely.
- user history messages weren't rendering with the same wrap algorithm
as used in the composer, which sometimes resulted in wrapping messages
differently in the history vs. in the composer.
# Tool System Refactor
- Centralizes tool definitions and execution in `core/src/tools/*`:
specs (`spec.rs`), handlers (`handlers/*`), router (`router.rs`),
registry/dispatch (`registry.rs`), and shared context (`context.rs`).
One registry now builds the model-visible tool list and binds handlers.
- Router converts model responses to tool calls; Registry dispatches
with consistent telemetry via `codex-rs/otel` and unified error
handling. Function, Local Shell, MCP, and experimental `unified_exec`
all flow through this path; legacy shell aliases still work.
- Rationale: reduce per‑tool boilerplate, keep spec/handler in sync, and
make adding tools predictable and testable.
Example: `read_file`
- Spec: `core/src/tools/spec.rs` (see `create_read_file_tool`,
registered by `build_specs`).
- Handler: `core/src/tools/handlers/read_file.rs` (absolute `file_path`,
1‑indexed `offset`, `limit`, `L#: ` prefixes, safe truncation).
- E2E test: `core/tests/suite/read_file.rs` validates the tool returns
the requested lines.
## Next steps:
- Decompose `handle_container_exec_with_params`
- Add parallel tool calls
This PR adds support for streamable HTTP MCP servers when the
`experimental_use_rmcp_client` is enabled.
To set one up, simply add a new mcp server config with the url:
```
[mcp_servers.figma]
url = "http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp"
```
It also supports an optional `bearer_token` which will be provided in an
authorization header. The full oauth flow is not supported yet.
The config parsing will throw if it detects that the user mixed and
matched config fields (like command + bearer token or url + env).
The best way to review it is to review `core/src` and then
`rmcp-client/src/rmcp_client.rs` first. The rest is tests and
propagating the `Transport` struct around the codebase.
Example with the Figma MCP:

- Refactor Exec Cell into its own module
- update exec command rendering to inline the first command line
- limit continuation lines
- always show trimmed output
- Only show the usage data section when signed in with ChatGPT. (Tested
with Chat auth and API auth.)
- Friendlier string change.
- Also removed `.dim()` on the string, since it was the only string in
`/status` that was dim.
The only file to watch is the cargo.toml
All the others come from just fix + a few manual small fix
