codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Add Orchestrator/delegate mode such that the main agent is strictly read-only [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The main agent's tendency to perform tasks independently, despite explicit instructions, may be mitigated by exploring alternative delegation methods or permission controls within the Codex CLI.

Guidance

• Investigate the Codex documentation for any existing features or flags that allow for more fine-grained control over agent delegation and permission inheritance.
• Consider reaching out to the Codex community or support channels for guidance on potential workarounds, as the issue may be a known limitation or have a established solution.
• Review the agents.md file for any configuration options that could influence the main agent's behavior, even if they have not been effective so far.
• Explore the possibility of using external scripts or tools to manage agent permissions and delegation, if such functionality is not natively supported by Codex.

Notes

The provided information does not specify the exact version of Codex being used, which might be crucial for determining the availability of certain features or workarounds. Additionally, the lack of response in the "Additional information" section limits the ability to provide more tailored guidance.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the current information, it seems that exploring workarounds, such as external scripts or community guidance, might be the most viable approach to addressing the main agent's behavior, as there is no clear indication of a direct fix within the Codex CLI itself.
