codex-request

A command that sends a task to Codex through an LLM gateway, a service that passes requests to a language model. It can specify whether Codex may only inspect files or may edit them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Sending prompts to Codex for repository inspection or for tasks that require changing project files.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to delegate coding work while making the requested file-access level explicit.

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

codex-request 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 2d ago.

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

Send a request through the llm-gateway MCP server's codex_request tool.

Raw arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Use the llm-gateway's codex_request MCP tool to execute this prompt. Pass the raw arguments as the prompt.

Do not pass fullAuto. It is deprecated compatibility shorthand that expands to --sandbox workspace-write, so defaulting to it silently grants write access.

Pass sandboxMode explicitly on a new session. For inspection use sandboxMode: "read-only"; do not rely on omitting the field, because the gateway then emits no --sandbox flag and Codex resolves the policy from configuration, project trust, and its own fallback, so a trusted project can resolve to workspace-write. Pass workspace-write only when the task must edit files.

The gateway filters --sandbox out of a resume argv, so sandboxMode has no effect on a resumed request. That is not a guarantee that the resumed session keeps its original posture: configOverrides still passes through and can set sandbox_mode, and Codex re-resolves configuration on a cold resume. Establish the posture on the first request and verify it when it matters.

Do not pass model unless the caller named one; the gateway resolves the configured Codex default.

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.

codex-request is a command published in the GitHub repository verivus-oss/llm-cli-gateway (14 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 291 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
