Instructions

Run a code review against the current repository using Codex CLI

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptNoCustom review instructions or focus areas (cannot be used with uncommitted=true; use base/commit review instead)
uncommittedNoReview staged, unstaged, and untracked changes (working tree) - cannot be combined with custom prompt
baseNoReview changes against a specific base branch (e.g., "main", "develop")
commitNoReview the changes introduced by a specific commit SHA
titleNoOptional title to display in the review summary
modelNoSpecify which model to use for the review (defaults to gpt-5.3-codex)
workingDirectoryNoWorking directory to run the review in (passed via -C as a global Codex option)
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description adds no additional behavioral context, so it meets the baseline but does not enrich beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that directly conveys the tool's purpose. It is concise and front-loaded, though it could be slightly more structured with additional context.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With 7 parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain the review process, output format, or provide examples, leaving significant gaps for a tool of this complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter meaning. The main description adds no extra insight over the schema, maintaining the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'run' and the resource 'code review against current repository', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'codex' which is a general tool.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description lacks any explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It does not mention alternatives or context, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name and schema constraints.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
