What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.313.41514

What subscription do you have?

Business (Team)

What platform is your computer?

Windows 11

What issue are you seeing?

As per https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12735, it should be possible to use request_user_input in normal mode.

However if you send following command:

Use "request_user_input" to let me choose between 3 different random countries

You get the following answer:

request_user_input is unavailable in this chat mode, so I can’t actually call it.

Pick one:

1. Japan
2. Kenya
3. Peru
Reply with 1, 2, or 3.

(Same prompt in plan mode correctly displays the selection GUI)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

See above

What is the expected behavior?

That request_user_input can be used anywhere
