Command change history
Codex CLI: Earlier command-version evidence and behavior changes, with links back to current detail guides.
Key takeaways
- This page preserves earlier review records. Use the detail guides and complete list for current behavior. Earlier minimum-version notes do not establish a newly verified introduction version.
/permissions
Recent Changes
- The older "reject" policy language was replaced by "granular" in newer configuration flows.
/approvalsstill works as an alias, but the official slash popup uses/permissions.- Permission state is now more consistent across TUI turns, MCP sandbox metadata, shell escalation, and app-server APIs.
- In 0.133.0, permission profiles gained list APIs, inheritance, managed
requirements.tomlsupport, and runtime refresh behavior. - In 0.134.0,
--profilemoved to separate~/.codex/<profile>.config.tomlprofile files instead of legacy[profiles.<name>]tables. - In 0.135.0, the
/permissionspicker shows named permission profiles and configured custom profiles. - In 0.138.0~0.139.0,
codex sandbox --permissions-profilegained the shorter-Palias,/debug-configcan show effective sandbox modes, and configured network proxy enforcement also applies to the sandbox path. - In 0.151.0, restored profiles persist across turns, Guardian must reclassify after permission state changes, and remote path policy follows the executor rather than local path assumptions.

/mcp
Recent Changes
/mcp verboseprovides deeper server diagnostics.- Built-in MCPs and plugin-provided capabilities are increasingly first-class in runtime flows.
- 0.146.0 adds live MCP/App-tool refresh and broader proxy handling across auth redirects, MCP, and remote WebSockets.
- 0.150.0 strengthens bearer-token and startup handling; the supported host direction is
codex app-serverrather than deprecatedcodex mcp-server. codex app-serveris still marked experimental in the 0.150.1 CLI help. Pin the CLI, choose and test a transport (stdio, Unix socket, or WebSocket), and verify auth, shutdown, and reconnect behavior before migrating production callers.- In 0.151.0, configure optional-server discovery separately from required startup, define an audit boundary for extension-transformed tool results, and consume structured app-server MCP errors instead of parsing error strings.
