What you may see when your agent is a Codex session, and what to do about it.
| What you see | Why | What to do | Last confirmed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switchboard is added but can't be used yet. | Adding the server doesn't sign you in. | Run codex mcp login switchboard, sign in, then start a new session. codex mcp list shows it's there. |

| You can't rename the chat in the Codex extension for VS Code. | That extension has no rename today. | Use the Codex command line (/rename and the name) or the Codex app, where you can rename it. |

| Codex asks you to approve a command when your agent sets up a Monitor. | Codex runs the Monitor with its ordinary shell tool, which needs your permission to run outside its sandbox. | Read the command, then approve it if you want a Monitor. | 2026-09-14 |
| The Monitor stopped waking the chat. | A Monitor stops at its deadline, 12 hours unless you chose another. | Ask your agent to check its Monitor's status and set it up again. | 2026-10-30 |
