SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guardrails for Codex CLI to prevent destructive actions, require scoped approvals, and reduce exposure of secrets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Refuse catastrophic actions and enforce scoped approvals.
  • Require explicit approvals for destructive (Class 2) and cloud/remote (Class 3) actions.
  • Reduce secret leakage and enforce deterministic payload matching and workspace safety.

Quick Start

Load the guard-users-codex policy into your Codex CLI loader and begin issuing requests with explicit, scoped approvals for any potentially destructive actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent destructive actions when using Codex CLI?

To prevent destructive actions in Codex CLI, load a guardrail policy that classifies requests and refuses catastrophic operations. This enforces scoped approvals and risk-based constraints, requiring explicit consent before executing potentially harmful workspace commands.

How do I redact secrets in Codex CLI workspace operations?

To redact secrets in Codex CLI operations, apply a guardrail policy that enforces deterministic payload matching and reduces secret leakage. This mechanism intercepts requests within workspace boundaries to ensure sensitive data is masked before processing.

When do I need explicit approvals for cloud operations in Codex CLI?

You need explicit approvals for cloud operations in Codex CLI when a guardrail policy classifies an action as Class 3. This classification triggers scoped approval requirements for any remote or cloud-based actions before they are executed.

Does Codex CLI require approvals for local file modifications?

Codex CLI requires approvals for local file modifications when the action is classified as Class 2 destructive. A safety-first guardrail policy intercepts these requests and enforces explicit, scoped approvals before allowing any workspace modifications.

What is the best way to enforce workspace safety boundaries in Codex CLI?

The best way to enforce workspace safety boundaries in Codex CLI is to load a guardrail policy that applies risk-based constraints across local and cloud operations. This approach uses deterministic payload matching to gate requests and ensure actions stay within defined limits.

Can I use guard-users-codex to scope approvals for specific destructive commands?

Yes, guard-users-codex enforces scoped approvals for specific destructive commands. It classifies requests by risk level and gates them, requiring explicit approval for Class 2 and Class 3 actions before they proceed within the workspace.
