You can scaffold custom Codex subagent TOML configurations by generating compliant files at project or personal paths. This enables structured, reproducible agent identities for specialized roles like reviewers or researchers requiring persistent instructions and tool restrictions.

To set up a read-only reviewer subagent in Codex, scaffold a custom TOML configuration that enforces specific review criteria and tool restrictions. This ensures the delegated reviewer follows consistent, bounded instructions without reinventing roles for each module.

You need a custom subagent TOML file when delegating project-specific tasks like reviewing, researching, or test designing that require persistent instructions and tool restrictions. Standard agents lack the bounded, reproducible identities needed for these structured workflows.

Yes, you can restrict tool access for delegated AI workflows by defining tool restrictions within the custom subagent TOML configuration. This ensures bounded, reproducible agent identities that enforce project-specific boundaries and prevent unnecessary complexity.

Yes, scaffolding a Codex subagent involves a structured interview process to validate that a subagent is actually the right tool for the task. This delegation-fit validation prevents unnecessary complexity before generating the TOML configuration.

Custom subagent TOML files are limited to Codex specifications and require manual delegation-fit validation before use. They are not suitable for tasks lacking persistent instructions or bounded tool restrictions, adding configuration overhead for simple agentic workflows.
