codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex keeps using search_tool by mistake, repeatedly. [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the configuration or settings of the Codex CLI to ensure it's not defaulting to the search_tool.

Guidance

• Review the Codex CLI documentation to see if there are any settings or flags that can be used to specify the model or tool to use, rather than relying on defaults.
• Check if the gpt-5.2 model is correctly configured or if there are any overrides that might be causing it to fall back to the search_tool.
• Investigate if the uploaded thread 019dd9df-b37e-7371-90b7-0c326a2aea66 contains any specific instructions or settings that could be influencing the tool selection.
• Consider reaching out to the Codex support team for Pro 200 subscribers to see if they can provide any insights or assistance with the issue.
