same here, looks broken currently. Was just trying it out. Also mac.

I encountered an issue with the latest version. You can install the previous stable version instead: @openai/codex@0.1.2504211509.

ahahaha yeah, i spent ages, thought i might be able to inject the payload directly through terminal but to no avail. going back to the earlier as mentioned worked for me.

Same issue for me. Reverting to old version until this is fixed.

@openai/codex@0.1.2504211509 version works fine in Windows 11

Same in ubuntu

For all users -- Here's what works for me, or roll back versioning:

Bug Found & Fixed: Invalid Schema for Function 'shell'

After investigating this issue, I found that the OpenAI API has changed its validation requirements for function schemas. The API now requires that all properties defined in a schema must be included in the required array.

Root Cause

In codex-cli/src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts, the 'shell' function schema defines properties for command, workdir, and timeout, but the required array only includes command.

Fix

The solution is to include all properties in the required array:

parameters: {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    command: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } },
    workdir: {
      type: "string",
      description: "The working directory for the command.",
    },
    timeout: {
      type: "number",
      description: "The maximum time to wait for the command to complete in milliseconds.",
    },
  },
-  required: ["command"],
+  required: ["command", "workdir", "timeout"],
  additionalProperties: false,
},

How to Apply the Fix

1. Edit codex-cli/src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts
2. Find the shell function schema definition (around line 651)
3. Update the required array to include all properties as shown above
4. Build and reinstall the package:

cd /path/to/codex
cd codex-cli
pnpm run build
npm install -g .

After applying this fix, the tool should work correctly. The error occurs because the OpenAI API now enforces stricter schema validation, requiring all defined properties to be listed in the required array, even if they should be optional in practice.

did anyone made any pr with this change?

Back to the previous available that was working
npm uninstall -g @openai/codex
npm view @openai/codex versions -- If you wanna see the latest
npm install -g @openai/codex@0.1.2504211509

Should be fixed in latest release, please install 0.1.2504221401 and re-open if this is still an issue you encounter.
