Sandboxed Code Execution

Edits files and runs shell commands inside an OS-level sandbox, escalating to the user for approval per the configured permission mode.

Headless Exec Runs

Executes prompts non-interactively through `codex exec` so coding tasks run inside CI jobs, scripts, and other repeatable workflows.

MCP Server Integration

Attaches local or remote MCP servers via `codex mcp` and exposes Codex itself as an MCP server for other agent clients.

Session Resume

Reopens a recent conversation from the current repository with `codex resume` and searches across stored local sessions.

AGENTS.md Project Config

Generates and reads AGENTS.md instructions through `/init` so repository-specific conventions steer the agent on every run.
