Codex Complains About Amazon Short Links
VoidStateKate · x · 2026-07-19
This post shows that Codex has had a strong sense of "personality" in recent days: when dealing with an Amazon short link, it directly complained that their short link mechanism is absurd.
The logs in the screenshot show it trying to use the browser-control-in-app-browser skill, invoking the browser runtime and agent.browsers.list() to handle the page, but no available browser exists in the current session, ultimately forcing it to honestly report "connected browser is unavailable." This content is somewhat funny but also reflects the real workflow of an agent handling web tasks.
