CODEX_SUBAGENT_USAGE_LOG
Tools (9)
Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
codex_delegateDelegate a task to CodexDescription is built at runtime.
codex_doctorCheck the Codex CLI installationread-onlyCheck whether the local Codex CLI is installed, recent enough, signed in and able to load its configuration, and report the exact steps to fix it if not. Run this when any other tool reports the CLI is unavailable, or before relying on delegation for the first time. It only inspects the installation; it never installs or repairs anything. Opt in with extended for a slow, networked config.load report from codex doctor --json.
codex_follow_upContinue a Codex sessionSend a follow-up message to a previous delegation using its thread_id. Codex retains the earlier context, so only the new instruction needs to be sent. Like a delegation, it is sent to OpenAI and spends the user's Codex usage.
codex_job_cancelCancel a background delegationcan change or delete dataTerminate a running background delegation.
codex_job_resultRead a background delegation's resultread-onlyReturn the full output of a finished background delegation. Errors if the job is still running.
codex_job_statusCheck a background delegationread-onlyReport the state and recent activity of a background delegation started with mode=background. Call it with no job_id to list every known job.
codex_recommendRecommend a Codex model and effortread-onlyGiven a task description, recommend which Codex model and reasoning effort to delegate it with. Runs no model call; applies a documented matrix reconciled against the installed catalog.
codex_usageSummarise the local usage logread-onlySummarise this server's local usage log (CODEX_SUBAGENT_USAGE_LOG) over a window: per group, the number of delegation processes, their outcomes, commands, durations and the tokens the Codex CLI reported. Reads local files only and runs no Codex process. It never reports quota, credits or remaining allowance.
list_codex_modelsList Codex modelsread-onlyList the Codex models available on this machine, with the reasoning-effort levels each one supports. Read from the installed Codex CLI, with a warned static fallback if its catalog cannot be read. Call this before codex_delegate when choosing a model explicitly.
