Codex Supports User Input Requests in Non-Plan Modes
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-12
This post highlights a long-requested feature: in Codex, you can finally enable defaultmoderequestuserinput via parameters, making the user input tool available outside of plan mode.
The implication is that when an agent gets stuck and needs human input, it no longer has to be restricted to a specific mode to initiate interaction. For coding tasks that require constant clarification, this makes the workflow significantly smoother.
