models

A command that displays the live list of Codex models available on the current machine, including their supported effort levels and the model selected by default.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking the current model catalog, effort options, default and recommended models, aliases, service tiers, and configuration warnings.
Why use it?
It helps developers see which models are actually available and understand warnings about outdated or unsupported settings. It preserves the full catalog details needed for choosing a model.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

models scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

!node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" models "$ARGUMENTS"

Present the full command output to the user. Do not summarize or condense it. Preserve all details including:

  • the effective default model and how it was chosen
  • the recommended model from the live catalog
  • each model's supported effort levels
  • the live catalog's descriptions of those effort levels when provided
  • whether --all revealed hidden catalog entries
  • every additional service tier advertised by each model, including fast when present
  • aliases derived from the current visible catalog, such as spark
  • any warnings about stale or unsupported default model pins
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
