Problem

Codex 0.149 declares its code-mode shell tool as exec (a freeform custom tool whose description mentions the nested await tools.exec_command(...) helper). Routed models — DeepSeek in particular — sometimes echo that helper name as the tool-call name, emitting exec_command instead of the declared exec. The undeclared-tool guard then fails the whole turn:

routed provider emitted undeclared client tool "exec_command"; only request-declared tools may be called

The upstream call itself succeeds (200), but the response is dropped at the guard, so Codex sees a dead turn with no output. Reproduction is probabilistic — it shows up in long multi-turn conversations with DeepSeek, and is hard to trigger in a minimal request.

Fix

Add normalizeDeclaredToolName() in src/types/tools.ts and apply it at the three undeclared-tool guard sites:

  • src/bridge.ts — Responses SSE streaming path (tool_call_start, ~L1046)
  • src/bridge.ts — chat-streaming path (tool_call_start, ~L1794)
  • src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts — terminal snapshot (undeclaredNameInItem)

The normalization maps the legacy shell bridge names (exec_command, shell_command) to exec only when the request catalog declares exec and does not itself declare the legacy name. This keeps legitimately declared tools intact — e.g. an MCP server advertising its own exec_command under a namespace is untouched.

Verification

  • Unit test: 7/7 cases pass (mapping, no-mapping when legacy name is declared, unrelated names, no declared set).
  • bun x esbuild on all four touched files: clean.
  • End-to-end: reproduced the failure with Codex Desktop 0.149 + DeepSeek deepseek-v4-flash; after the patch the same turn completes and the tool call is routed to exec.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved compatibility with legacy exec_command and shell_command tool names when exec is declared.
    • Standardized tool-name handling across streaming and non-streaming requests.
    • Improved validation for client-executed tools, reducing false undeclared-tool errors.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds conditional normalization for legacy shell-tool names. It applies the normalized name to streaming and buffered Responses tool-call validation, namespace lookup, routing, active state, and undeclared-tool errors.

Changes

Declared Tool Name Normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalization contract and public export
src/types/tools.ts, src/types.ts
normalizeDeclaredToolName maps exec_command and shell_command to exec when the catalog declares exec without either legacy name. The function is re-exported from src/types.ts.
Validation and routing integration
src/bridge.ts, src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts, tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts
Streaming and buffered tool calls normalize provider names before namespace lookup and declaration checks. Client-executed validation uses the same normalization. Tests cover explicit legacy declarations, empty catalogs, unified exec declarations, and namespaced calls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 580af

This change remaps legacy shell tool names to exec, but namespace-qualified undeclared calls may still bypass validation, potentially routing an unauthorized tool call instead of rejecting it. Merge should wait for namespace-safe validation and the associated lint and regression-test follow-up.

Codex 0.149 declares its code-mode shell tool as `exec` (a freeform custom
tool whose description mentions the nested `await tools.exec_command(...)`
helper). Routed models — DeepSeek in particular — sometimes echo that helper
name as the tool-call name, emitting `exec_command` instead of the declared
`exec`. The undeclared-tool guard then fails the whole turn with a 502.

Normalize the legacy shell bridge names to `exec` at the three guard sites
(streaming bridge x2, terminal snapshot guard) only when the request catalog
declares `exec` and declares no legacy shell bridge name itself, so an MCP
server advertising its own `exec_command` keeps working. Namespaced calls
are always matched by their full wire name and never legacy-normalized.

Add direct regression tests for both bridge routing paths.

tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts tests only undeclaredToolCallNameInResponse. It does not execute bridgeToResponsesSSE or the buffered response path changed here.

A future difference in normalized toolNsMap lookup, emitted tool-call name, or buffered currentToolCallName can pass the guard tests while routing the call incorrectly. Add one streaming case and one buffered case that send exec_command with declared exec and assert that the emitted call routes as exec. Include a namespaced legacy-tool case in the bridge tests if that path can reach these adapters.

As per path instructions: “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”

설명: 이 풀은 라우트된 모델이 선언된 exec 대신 exec_command 나 shell_command 를 부를 때 생기는 502 를 막는다. 작성자는 L-Y-J 이다. 포크는 L-Y-J/opencodex 이다. 초안이 아니다. 점검 네 칸은 모두 채워져 있다. 라벨은 bug 와 review-ready 다. 베이스는 지금 개발 가지 a60d517 이다. 커밋 하나, 더하기 86 빼기 12, 파일 다섯이다. src/types/tools.ts 에 정규화 함수를 넣고, src/types.ts 배럴이 다시 보낸다. 가드 세 곳이다. src/bridge.ts 의 응답 SSE 스트림, 같은 파일의 채팅 JSON 경로, src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts 의 스냅샷. 시험은 tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts 에 둘이다. 닫는 이슈 번호는 본문에 없다. types.ts 가르기는 리프 src/types/tools.ts 와 배럴만 만진다. 닫고 다시 밑지 말 것. 프리뷰 배포가 아니다.

지금 CURRENT dev HEAD 는 a60d517 이다. 이번 시간에 origin/dev 는 그대로다. 새 머지는 없다. package.json 은 2.32.0 이다. src/config.ts 는 3238줄이다. src/runtime 폴더는 없다. default-aliases.ts 와 model-presets.ts 는 아직 없다. 위생 워크플로는 나중 커밋에서 초록이다. 첫 댓글은 시험이 없다고 남아 있다. 그건 첫째 푸시 이야기다. 가지 강제와 라벨과 해결도 초록이다. 교차 플랫폼 칸은 이 포크 실행에서 안 보인다. 코더래빗은 요약만 남겼다.

지금 HEAD 의 가드는 요청 카탈로그에 없는 이름을 바로 502 로 끊는다. Codex 0.149 코드 모드 셸은 exec 로 선언된다. 설명 글에 nested await tools.exec_command(...) 가 적혀 있다. 딥시크 같은 라우트 모델이 그 글자를 도구 이름으로 따라 쓰면, 업스트림 200 인데도 가드가 턴을 버린다. 구멍은 맞다. 이 풀은 카탈로그가 exec 를 선언하고 레거시 이름을 직접 선언하지 않을 때만 exec_command 와 shell_command 를 exec 로 바꾼다. 네임스페이스가 있는 호출은 스냅샷 가드에서 전체 와이어 이름만 본다. 엠시피가 자기 exec_command 를 쓰는 길을 지키려는 뜻이다.

다만 세 길이 같다. 브리지 SSE 와 JSON 은 이름을 exec 로 바꿔서 코덱스에 넘긴다. 스냅샷 가드는 502 만 건너뛰고 응답 안의 이름은 exec_command 로 둔다. 리스폰스 원본 업스트림이 그 이름을 내면 코덱스는 없는 도구를 받는다. 브리지 스트림 가드는 event.name 만 본다. 아이템 namespace 필드는 이 경로에 없다. 시험은 스냅샷 함수만 잠근다. 브리지 두 경로는 단위 시험이 없다. 교차 플랫폼도 안 보인다. 지금 합치면 안 된다.

라인 1044 src/bridge.ts - 지금 HEAD 는 event.name 을 카탈로그와 네임스페이스 맵에 그대로 넣는다. exec_command 면 바로 502 다
라인 1046 src/bridge.ts - 선언 검사도 원본 이름이다. 이 풀은 정규화한 이름을 검사하고 맵에도 그 이름을 쓴다
라인 1794 src/bridge.ts - JSON 경로도 같다. 이 풀은 currentToolCallName 을 정규화한 값으로 바꾼다. 코덱스가 받는 이름이 exec 가 된다
라인 205 src/server/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.ts - 지금 HEAD 는 declared.has(name) 다음에 네임스페이스 와이어 이름을 본다
PR undeclaredNameInItem - 네임스페이스가 있으면 레거시 정규화를 안 한다. 맞다. 다만 통과해도 item.name 은 고치지 않는다
src/types/tools.ts 새 normalizeDeclaredToolName - 카탈로그가 exec 없고 레거시 이름만 있으면 원본을 돌려준다. 빈 집합은 정규화하지 않는다
같은 함수 - 레거시 이름 하나라도 선언되면 정규화 전체를 끈다. exec 와 exec_command 가 같이 있으면 shell_command 는 exec 가 되지 않는다
tests/responses-undeclared-tool-guard.test.ts - 스냅샷만 잠근다. 브리지 SSE 와 JSON 가드는 시험이 없다
교차 플랫폼 CI - 포크라서 칸이 없다. 리눅스 본 시험이 새 파일을 아직 안 돌린 것으로 본다
types.ts 가르기 - 리프와 배럴 재수출이다. 해당은 있으나 닫고 다시 밑지 말 것

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • 스냅샷 가드도 이름을 exec 로 다시 쓸지. 다시 쓰는 편이 세 길이 같아진다
  • 브리지 경로 시험을 더 넣을지. 넣는 편이 맞다
  • 포크 교차 플랫폼을 승인한 뒤에만 합칠지. 그렇다. 지금 합치지 말 것
  • 닫는 이슈를 새로 열지. 지금 말 것. 본문에 연결된 번호가 없다
  • types.ts 가르기로 이 풀을 닫을지. 해당 있으나 리프를 올바르게 썼다. 닫지 말 것

너의 추천
방향은 맞다. 지금 합치지 말 것. 교차 플랫폼이 초록이 되고, 스냅샷도 이름을 바꾸며, 브리지 시험을 넣은 뒤에 다시 본다. 라벨은 그대로 둔다. 2426 과 2407 과 2460 과 2423 과 2491 과 2489 와 2463 과 2464 과 2465 는 닫지 않는다. 2473 과 2475 와 2476 과 2492 는 이번 시간에 합치지 말 것. 호출 길을 넓히지 말 것. 프리뷰 배포가 아니다.
