What is the type of issue?
Documentation is incorrect
What is the issue?
in v0.53.0:
⚠ `tools.view_image` is deprecated. Use `view_image_tool` instead.
You can either enable it using the CLI with `--enable view_image_tool` or through the config.toml file with `[features].view_image_tool`
⚠ `tools.web_search` is deprecated. Use `web_search_request` instead.
You can either enable it using the CLI with `--enable web_search_request` or through the config.toml file with `[features].web_search_request`
| `tools.web_search` | boolean | Enable web search tool (alias: `web_search_request`) (default: false). |
| `tools.view_image` | boolean | Enable or disable the `view_image` tool so Codex can attach local image files from the workspace (default: true). |
the legacy feature warning says that tools.view_image is deprecated and to use view_image_tool, but the docs document tools.view_image and do not mention view_image_tool.
