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-bug 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 3d 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.

Codex Bug

Overview

Diagnose a Codex GitHub bug report and decide the next action: verify against sources, request more info, or explain why it is not a bug.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the input
  • Require a GitHub issue URL that points to github.com/openai/codex/issues/….
  • If the URL is missing or not in the right repo, ask the user for the correct link.
  1. Network access
  • Always access the issue over the network immediately, even if you think access is blocked or unavailable.
  • Prefer the GitHub API over HTML pages because the HTML is noisy:
    • Issue: https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/issues/<number>
    • Comments: https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/issues/<number>/comments
  • If the environment requires explicit approval, request it on demand via the tool and continue without additional user prompting.
  • Only if the network attempt fails after requesting approval, explain what you can do offline (e.g., draft a response template) and ask how to proceed.
  1. Read the issue
  • Use the GitHub API responses (issue + comments) as the source of truth rather than scraping the HTML issue page.
  • Extract: title, body, repro steps, expected vs actual, environment, logs, and any attachments.
  • Note whether the report already includes logs or session details.
  • If the report includes a thread ID, mention it in the summary and use it to look up the logs and session details if you have access to them.
  1. Summarize the bug before investigating
  • Before inspecting code, docs, or logs in depth, write a short summary of the report in your own words.
  • Include the reported behavior, expected behavior, repro steps, environment, and what evidence is already attached or missing.
  1. Decide the course of action
  • Verify with sources when the report is specific and likely reproducible. Inspect relevant Codex files (or mention the files to inspect if access is unavailable).
  • Request more information when the report is vague, missing repro steps, or lacks logs/environment.
  • Explain not a bug when the report contradicts current behavior or documented constraints (cite the evidence from the issue and any local sources you checked).

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.
