ObjectParam error from generated tool arguments with overlong property name
Summary
Codex began returning an internal/tooling error involving an invalid object parameter after it edited a Python script in a thread.
Error
[ObjectParam] [input[64].arguments.Ohstandenacıليش earrings-pencil multicultural multic মালwyll?><ibeleadaireošennialsBots étoilesliz zandેણrech arguesодаря/be Stéphlul Fly AvantJuanндаiful Nuk___/java surpreодаряодаря professionalsmailto PunkNenSTAoureux betaal commits Nusethoestand Walt LGVerts maalt_Runbal Loch Heming __(] [property_name_above_max_length] Invalid property name in 'input[64].arguments': 'Ohs...__(' is too long. Expected a string with maximum length 256, but got a string with length 291 instead.
Context
A user reported that this started appearing after Codex edited their Python script in another thread. The malformed property name appears to contain generated multilingual/random text and exceeds the maximum allowed argument property-name length.
- Model setting:
GPT-5.5 high - Client environment: Codex desktop app
- Machine: MacBook Pro, model identifier
Mac15,3, Apple M3, 8-core CPU, 8 GB memory - OS: macOS
26.5.1build25F80 - Architecture:
arm64 - Timezone in active workspace context:
Asia/Manila
Expected behavior
Codex should avoid emitting tool/input argument objects with invalid property names. If generation goes off-track, the client/tooling should recover gracefully or surface a clearer actionable error.
Actual behavior
The thread produced an ObjectParam validation error for input[64].arguments, because a generated property name was 291 characters long while the maximum allowed length is 256.

The user asked for this to be reported at https://github.com/openai/codex/issues.
