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.
codex-app-server
codex app-server is the harness Codex uses to power rich interfaces such as the Codex VS Code extension. The message schema is currently unstable, but those who wish to build experimental UIs on top of Codex may find it valuable.
Protocol
Similar to MCP, codex app-server supports bidirectional communication, streaming JSONL over stdio. The protocol is JSON-RPC 2.0, though the "jsonrpc":"2.0" header is omitted.
Message Schema
Currently, you can dump a TypeScript version of the schema using codex generate-ts. It is specific to the version of Codex you used to run generate-ts, so the two are guaranteed to be compatible.
