In plain words
What is it for?

About the project

Codex Router is a local model-routing setup that connects Codex and several other coding agents to external providers such as Kimi, DeepSeek, Anthropic, xAI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for users who want to configure routed models and manage provider credentials locally across supported agent clients. Its catalogue entries provide skills and instructions for installing and operating the router.

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-computer-use 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 12d 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

Codex Computer Use

Prefer purpose-built connectors, APIs, or CLIs when they can perform the task. For UI work, inspect the actual tool list before choosing a runtime:

  • If mcp__cua_repl__js is exposed, use the current runtime below.
  • Otherwise, if mcp__node_repl__js is exposed, read the legacy runtime instructions.
  • If neither is exposed, report the missing capability. Do not start a REPL process, write a side-channel driver, or synthesize MCP calls.

Current runtime: cua_repl

Read the live tool instructions. The tool initializes cua; do not import @oai/sky or bootstrap agent.browsers in this runtime.

On the first invocation, or after a reset, execute exactly one documented entry-point API call, optionally assigning its result. Do not combine it with another API call, a wait, a snapshot, or output helpers. Use the entry point matching the user's requested surface; use await cua.getState() only when an inventory is needed. Read the returned documentation and state before continuing. For browser work, also read codex-in-app-browser.

Use only APIs described in the tool instructions or returned documentation. Check which surfaces are enabled: browser access does not imply native app control. If native APIs are disabled, report that limitation for a native app task. Never guess screen contents or claim an unavailable surface is enabled.

Reuse the existing bindings. After compaction into a summary of an ongoing computer-use task, call await cua.rewriteDocumentation() before continuing. Follow the live tool's reset and output rules; the legacy runtime's imports and one-line input rules do not apply here.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
