These are the schema definitions for the new JSON-RPC APIs associated
with accounts. These are not wired up to business logic yet and will
currently throw an internal error indicating these are unimplemented.
Codex will now send an `account/rateLimits/updated` notification
whenever the user's rate limits are updated.
This is implemented by just transforming the existing TokenCount event.
1. Adds AgentMessage, Reasoning, WebSearch items.
2. Switches the ResponseItem parsing to use new items and then also emit
3. Removes user-item kind and filters out "special" (environment) user
items when returning to clients.
## Summary
- make the plan tool available by default by removing the feature flag
and always registering the handler
- drop plan-tool CLI and API toggles across the exec, TUI, MCP server,
and app server code paths
- update tests and configs to reflect the always-on plan tool and guard
workspace restriction tests against env leakage
## Testing
Manually tested the extension.

Adds a `GET account/rateLimits/read` API to app-server. This calls the
codex backend to fetch the user's current rate limits.
This would be helpful in checking rate limits without having to send a
message.
For calling the codex backend usage API, I generated the types and
manually copied the relevant ones into `codex-backend-openapi-types`.
It'll be nice to extend our internal openapi generator to support Rust
so we don't have to run these manual steps.

Adds a new ItemStarted event and delivers UserMessage as the first item
type (more to come).
Renames `InputItem` to `UserInput` considering we're using the `Item`
suffix for actual items.
Add a `--add-dir` CLI flag so sessions can use extra writable roots in
addition to the ones specified in the config file. These are ephemerally
added during the session only.
Fixes#3303Fixes#2797
This adds `parsed_cmd: Vec<ParsedCommand>` to `ExecApprovalRequestEvent`
in the core protocol (`protocol/src/protocol.rs`), which is also what
this field is named on `ExecCommandBeginEvent`. Honestly, I don't love
the name (it sounds like a single command, but it is actually a list of
them), but I don't want to get distracted by a naming discussion right
now.
This also adds `parsed_cmd` to `ExecCommandApprovalParams` in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`, so it will be available
via `codex app-server`, as well.
For consistency, I also updated `ExecApprovalElicitRequestParams` in
`codex-rs/mcp-server/src/exec_approval.rs` to include this field under
the name `codex_parsed_cmd`, as that struct already has a number of
special `codex_*` fields. Note this is the code for when Codex is used
as an MCP _server_ and therefore has to conform to the official spec for
an MCP elicitation type.
## Summary
- Factor `load_config_as_toml` into `core::config_loader` so config
loading is reusable across callers.
- Layer `~/.codex/config.toml`, optional `~/.codex/managed_config.toml`,
and macOS managed preferences (base64) with recursive table merging and
scoped threads per source.
## Config Flow
```
Managed prefs (macOS profile: com.openai.codex/config_toml_base64)
▲
│
~/.codex/managed_config.toml │ (optional file-based override)
▲
│
~/.codex/config.toml (user-defined settings)
```
- The loader searches under the resolved `CODEX_HOME` directory
(defaults to `~/.codex`).
- Managed configs let administrators ship fleet-wide overrides via
device profiles which is useful for enforcing certain settings like
sandbox or approval defaults.
- For nested hash tables: overlays merge recursively. Child tables are
merged key-by-key, while scalar or array values replace the prior layer
entirely. This lets admins add or tweak individual fields without
clobbering unrelated user settings.
### Summary
* Updated fuzzy search result to include the file name.
* This should not affect CLI usage and the UI there will be addressed in
a separate PR.
### Testing
Tested locally and with the extension.

We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex
mcp-server`.
In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`,
and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`.
Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it
into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and
because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of
files as part of this PR.
We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we
also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which
is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types`
except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed.
Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic
considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize
directly into the wire format that we use now.
Manually curating `protocol-ts/src/lib.rs` was error-prone, as expected.
I finally asked Codex to write some Rust macros so we can ensure that:
- For every variant of `ClientRequest` and `ServerRequest`, there is an
associated `params` and `response` type.
- All response types are included automatically in the output of `codex
generate-ts`.
This ensures changes the generated TypeScript type for `ClientRequest`
so that instead of this:
```typescript
/**
* Request from the client to the server.
*/
export type ClientRequest =
| { method: "initialize"; id: RequestId; params: InitializeParams }
| { method: "newConversation"; id: RequestId; params: NewConversationParams }
// ...
| { method: "getUserAgent"; id: RequestId }
| { method: "userInfo"; id: RequestId }
// ...
```
we have this:
```typescript
/**
* Request from the client to the server.
*/
export type ClientRequest =
| { method: "initialize"; id: RequestId; params: InitializeParams }
| { method: "newConversation"; id: RequestId; params: NewConversationParams }
// ...
| { method: "getUserAgent"; id: RequestId; params: undefined }
| { method: "userInfo"; id: RequestId; params: undefined }
// ...
```
which makes TypeScript happier when it comes to destructuring instances
of `ClientRequest` because it does not complain about `params` not being
guaranteed to exist anymore.
This is a very large PR with some non-backwards-compatible changes.
Historically, `codex mcp` (or `codex mcp serve`) started a JSON-RPC-ish
server that had two overlapping responsibilities:
- Running an MCP server, providing some basic tool calls.
- Running the app server used to power experiences such as the VS Code
extension.
This PR aims to separate these into distinct concepts:
- `codex mcp-server` for the MCP server
- `codex app-server` for the "application server"
Note `codex mcp` still exists because it already has its own subcommands
for MCP management (`list`, `add`, etc.)
The MCP logic continues to live in `codex-rs/mcp-server` whereas the
refactored app server logic is in the new `codex-rs/app-server` folder.
Note that most of the existing integration tests in
`codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/suite` were actually for the app server, so
all the tests have been moved with the exception of
`codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/suite/mod.rs`.
Because this is already a large diff, I tried not to change more than I
had to, so `codex-rs/app-server/tests/common/mcp_process.rs` still uses
the name `McpProcess` for now, but I will do some mechanical renamings
to things like `AppServer` in subsequent PRs.
While `mcp-server` and `app-server` share some overlapping functionality
(like reading streams of JSONL and dispatching based on message types)
and some differences (completely different message types), I ended up
doing a bit of copypasta between the two crates, as both have somewhat
similar `message_processor.rs` and `outgoing_message.rs` files for now,
though I expect them to diverge more in the near future.
One material change is that of the initialize handshake for `codex
app-server`, as we no longer use the MCP types for that handshake.
Instead, we update `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` to add an
`Initialize` variant to `ClientRequest`, which takes the `ClientInfo`
object we need to update the `USER_AGENT_SUFFIX` in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/message_processor.rs`.
One other material change is in
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs` where I eliminated
a use of the `send_event_as_notification()` method I am generally trying
to deprecate (because it blindly maps an `EventMsg` into a
`JSONNotification`) in favor of `send_server_notification()`, which
takes a `ServerNotification`, as that is intended to be a custom enum of
all notification types supported by the app server. So to make this
update, I had to introduce a new variant of `ServerNotification`,
`SessionConfigured`, which is a non-backwards compatible change with the
old `codex mcp`, and clients will have to be updated after the next
release that contains this PR. Note that
`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/list_resume.rs` also had to be update
to reflect this change.
I introduced `codex-rs/utils/json-to-toml/src/lib.rs` as a small utility
crate to avoid some of the copying between `mcp-server` and
`app-server`.
