fix(permissions): reach codex's own-named built-ins and MCP spelling - #766
Merged
Conversation
Codex renames only the tools that carry risk: hook_names.rs reports every shell-like as `Bash` and aliases `apply_patch` to `Write`/`Edit`. Its other built-ins arrive as `ToolName::plain`, so `view_image` and `web_search` were unreachable by a `Read` or `WebSearch` rule. Map both. `view_image` declares a single required `path`, so add a `normalize_input` that lifts it to `file_path`. Without it, mapping onto `Read` would read as covered by a path-scoped deny while never matching -- and `Read` is in ALWAYS_ALLOWED_TOOLS, so that deny is the only thing that can stop it. apply_patch remains uncovered and still says why. Codex also normalizes an MCP server label's `-` to `_`, so one allow entry could not cover both backends. Fold both sides onto the `_` spelling in matchers.lua when both start with `mcp__`. Folding is the safe direction: nothing in `mcp__a_b__x` says which underscore used to be a hyphen.

Authorization Bypass
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-863 — Incorrect Authorization
Scope hyphen normalization to the MCP server label.
MCP permits distinct tool names such as read-only and read_only. The current replacements also normalize the tool suffix, so an allow rule can authorize the other name and a deny rule can block it unintentionally. Normalize only the segment between mcp__ and the next __ to preserve server-label equivalence without merging tool names.

Drop the per-adapter spelling split. can_use_tool matches on canonical names and each backend's vocabulary translates its own, so codex needs no separate entries once shabaraba/vibing.nvim#766 lands. Glob and Grep are in ALWAYS_ALLOWED_TOOLS, and webrun was never a tool name on any backend.

Summary
Codex の組み込みツールのうち
view_image/web_searchが、権限ルールから一切到達できない状態だったので語彙テーブルに追加します。あわせて、MCP サーバー名の-/_綴り違いをmatchers.luaで吸収し、1 つの allow エントリで全 backend をカバーできるようにします。背景（codex 0.154.0 のソースと実バイナリで確認）
codex は「リスクを持つツールだけ」を Claude の語彙に寄せてきています。
codex-rs/core/src/tools/hook_names.rsを読むと:HookToolName::bash()— shell 系ハンドラ（unified_exec含む）は全部Bashとして serializeapply_patch()—apply_patchで送りつつ matcher alias にWrite/Editspawn_agent()— alias にAgent一方それ以外の組み込みは
ToolName::plainで自分の名前のまま PreToolUse に届きます。この非対称性のおかげで、書き込み・実行を伴うものが未マップだったことは一度も無く、deny 側の穴ではありませんでした。ただしview_image/web_searchはRead/WebSearchルールから到達不能のままでした。Changes
codex_tool_vocabulary.lua:NATIVE_TO_CANONICALにview_image → Read、web_search → WebSearchを追加normalize_inputを追加し、pathをfile_pathへ持ち上げmatchers.lua: 両辺がmcp__で始まる場合のみ、-を_に畳んでから照合handbook/architecture/cli-integration.md: 上記の実測値と根拠を追記、apply_patch の既知ギャップの記述を現状に合わせて修正normalize_inputを同時に入れた理由view_image → Readだけ入れると危険です。ReadはALWAYS_ALLOWED_TOOLSなので、止められるのは path 限定の deny だけ。そしてその deny はinput.file_pathを読みます。codex は引数をpathで宣言している（view_image_spec.rsの required properties）ため、持ち上げが無いとRead(**/secret.png)が「効いているように見えて一度もマッチしない」状態になります。apply_patchは引き続き未対応です（パスがcommand内の envelope にあり複数ファイルを含みうるため）。先頭のパスでfile_pathを埋めると patch の順序で deny を回避できてしまうので、matchers.luaに「パスの集合」を教える別対応が必要、という既存の判断は維持しています。MCP 綴りの畳み込み方向について
-→_に畳む向きにしました。逆向き（_→-の復元）は不可能です —mcp__a_b__xのどのアンダースコアが元は-だったか、名前からは判別できません。codex_tool_vocabulary.luaが復元できているのは既知の 1 プレフィックスにアンカーしているからで、そちらは残してあります（can_use_tool.is_vibing_nvim_mcp_toolが_vibing%-nvim__とハイフン綴りを直接パターンに持っており、matchers.luaを経由しないため）。両辺を
mcp__に限定しているので組み込みツール名には影響しません。副作用として-と_だけが違う 2 つのサーバーは同一視されますが、これは「ユーザーが backend ごとの綴り規則を知らなくて済む」ことの対価です。Type of Change
Testing
npm run validatenpm run lintnpm run format:checktest:lua全体（203 spec files）を実行し Failed 0 / Errors 0。lintは eslint のみで今回 JS/TS の変更が無いため未実行、代わりに変更した Markdown にmarkdownlintとprettier --checkをかけています。追加したテスト:
can_use_tool_spec.lua— MCP 綴り揺れを allow / deny 両方向で。加えてmcp__chrome-devtools-beta__*がmcp__chrome-devtools__*にマッチしないこと（畳み込みでプレフィックスが緩くならない確認）permission_vocabulary_spec.lua— 追加した map、pathの持ち上げ、apply_patchの入力を素通しすること、そしてview_image → Read → file_path → globのチェーン全体を通した denyTest Environment
Documentation
handbook/architecture/cli-integration.mdの "Backend Seams" を更新しました。未反映:
.claude/rules/architecture.mdの「codex_tool_vocabulary.luahas nonormalize_input, deliberately」の項が、この変更で古くなります。編集がローカルの権限フックでブロックされたため手を入れていません。マージ前に以下の趣旨へ書き換えが必要です:normalize_inputはpathをカバーする。apply_patch は引き続き未対応で、理由は変わらないview_image/web_searchはエントリが無いとルールから到達できないChecklist
Related Issues
なし
Additional Context
このPRで、ユーザー設定側で backend ごとにツール名を綴り分ける必要が無くなります。canonical 名 1 本の
permissions.allowで claude / codex の両方が期待通りに gate されます。Summary by CodeRabbit
