Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| jsC | Control native apps or browsers on the user's computer through OpenAI's official Computer Use JavaScript runtime (cua_repl). Computer Use is not ready: Codex app-server was not found. Checked: /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex-cli/CodexCLI.app/Contents/MacOS/codex, /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex, /root/Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex-cli/CodexCLI.app/Contents/MacOS/codex, /root/Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex. Install or update the official ChatGPT macOS app (https://chatgpt.com/download), then open it. If it is installed elsewhere, set "codexPath" to its absolute path in /app/config.json, or remove "codexPath" to restore automatic discovery. |
| js_resetC | Reset the persistent cua_repl JavaScript session. Computer Use is not ready: Codex app-server was not found. Checked: /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex-cli/CodexCLI.app/Contents/MacOS/codex, /Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex, /root/Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex-cli/CodexCLI.app/Contents/MacOS/codex, /root/Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex.

Scored across 3 tools
The three tools have largely separable roles: js executes JavaScript in the persistent session, js_reset clears that session state, and computer_use_status reports readiness. js and js_reset are adjacent but the reset semantics are clear enough that misselection is unlikely.
Names mix a bare noun (js) with a prefixed snake_case pair (js_reset) and a differently-prefixed tool (computer_use_status), so there is no single predictable verb_noun pattern. Each name is still readable on its own.
Three tools is thin for a computer-use automation server, and two of them are essentially session plumbing around one general-purpose JS evaluation escape hatch. It is defensible as a minimal surface but feels under-built.
The generic js tool can reach almost any operation, but there is no way to set codexPath or trigger installation/recovery even though the descriptions explicitly tell users to edit config.json manually. Status is read-only, so the 'not ready' dead end has no in-band fix.
