Documentation is confusing

What is the issue?

I've been trying to integrate the non-interactive mode. For my use case, it would be useful to be able to set a list of allowed tools.

For instance, I want to let codex edit and read files within the directory and let it use MCPs and certain commands such as git.

How can I achieve this at the moment?

I noticed the docs got updated recently ( #4583 ) but it's still a bit confusing to me.

Where did you find it?
