Conversation
A Codex CLI session through a translating route runs to completion and
executes nothing. The client reports success, so the failure is silent.
Two request-decoding gaps compose to produce it. Neither is visible on a
Responses-to-Responses passthrough, which is why it reads as a model
problem rather than a translation one.
1. `additional_tools` is not decoded. Codex 0.146 declares its whole
toolset in an input item -- `{"type": "additional_tools", "role":
"developer", "tools": [...]}` -- and sends no top-level `tools` key at
all. The Responses decoder has no arm for that item type, so it hits
the input catch-all and becomes an opaque `Unknown` block inside a user
message. The upstream is offered zero tools.
2. `custom` tools are dropped. The item's `exec` entry is
`{"type": "custom", ...}`. `decode_responses_tools` had arms for
`namespace`, `function`, and a bare name, and everything else fell to
`push_responses_id_tool`, which needs an `id`, returns `false`, and has
its return value discarded -- so the tool vanished without a
diagnostic.
The model is still told about the tools by Codex's own prompt, so it
prints the call as prose JSON and the turn ends.
This decodes the `additional_tools` item into the request's tool list and
consumes it from the input, and advertises a `custom` tool to a chat
upstream as a function taking one string. The response codec turns such a
call back into a `custom_tool_call`, buffered and streaming, so the
freeform contract holds. Both mappings ride in the request's
`ProviderExtensions` under prefixed keys, as `codex_namespaces` does, so
no provider-neutral type grows a Codex-specific field and no codec
forwards them upstream. Encoding back to Responses re-emits the
declaration where it arrived, keeping a same-format hop lossless.
Measured against a live routed Codex session, same config and prompt: on
the unpatched server the rollout records no tool item at all and the
command never runs; with this change it runs and returns its output.

Preserve the custom classification when qualifying a namespaced tool.
The decoder records the bare name, then qualifies the tool name. encode_responses_tools therefore emits a function definition instead of a custom definition. Keep the custom classification with the qualified name and add a round-trip test.

The chat JSON argument envelope is never unwrapped into freeform input. Both restoration paths carry {"input": "..."} through to Codex instead of the raw text, because the wire always spells arguments as JSON, buffered as one string and streamed as fragments.

Correlate streamed argument events by output_index.
The Responses stream codec emits output_index and nests the item id in response.output_item.added; it does not emit item_id on argument events. Therefore, rewrite_stream_event never renames custom-tool deltas or completion events. Correlate events by output_index, or add item_id before applying this state check. The delta remove-and-reinsert block is also a no-op.

A strict Responses backend validates the item-id prefix per item type. Azure
rejects a `custom_tool_call` carrying the `fc_` id the function call had:
Invalid 'input[8].id': 'fc_2'. Expected an ID that begins with 'ctc'.
The client persists the item and replays it on the next turn, so the wrong
prefix fails the *following* request. That made a routed Codex session run its
first tool call and then die on turn two, which reads as an unrelated bug.
The rewrite now re-prefixes the id and keeps the suffix, and the stream state
maps the old id to the new one so every event that names the item -- the
argument deltas and any other event carrying `item_id` -- refers to the id the
client was given.
Found by a live routed Codex session, not by the suite: the earlier probes

Fixes #515.
A Codex CLI session through a translating route runs to completion and executes nothing. The client reports success, so the failure is silent. Two request-decoding gaps compose to produce it; neither shows on a Responses-to-Responses passthrough.
1.
additional_toolsis not decoded. Codex 0.146 declares its whole toolset in an input item —{"type": "additional_tools", "role": "developer", "tools": [...]}— and sends no top-leveltoolskey at all.decode_responses_inputhas no arm for that type, so it hits the catch-all and becomes an opaqueUnknownblock inside a user message. The upstream is offered zero tools.2.
customtools are dropped. The item'sexecentry is{"type": "custom", ...}.decode_responses_toolshad arms fornamespace,function, and a bare name; everything else fell topush_responses_id_tool, which needs anid, returnsfalse, and has its return value discarded — so the tool vanished without a diagnostic.The model is still told about the tools by Codex's own prompt, so it prints the call as prose JSON and the turn ends.
What this does
additional_toolsitem intoLlmRequest::tools, and consumes the item from the input so the same 24 KB of schemas is not also sent as conversation.customtool to a chat upstream as a function taking one required string, and turns such a call back into acustom_tool_call— buffered and streaming — so the freeform contract holds. The streaming path renamesresponse.function_call_arguments.delta/.donefor the announced item ids only, since a delta event identifies its item by id alone.{"input": …}, a bare string, a single differently-named argument), because a dropped call costs the whole turn.additional_toolsitem when encoding back to Responses, so a same-format hop hands the upstream the shape the client sent.Both mappings ride in the request's
ProviderExtensionsunder prefixed keys, the same approachcodex_namespacestakes for #384: no provider-neutral type grows a Codex-specific field, and no codec forwards the keys upstream.A
grammar-formatted custom tool degrades to an unconstrained string, since a JSON Schema cannot express a grammar. That is strictly better than dropping it — the model can still call the tool, and Codex validates the input on receipt.Testing
cargo test --workspacepasses (switchyard-pyexcluded locally: a pre-existinglibpython3.12.dylibrpath problem, unrelated to this change).cargo clippy --all-targetsandcargo fmt --checkare clean.New tests:
crates/switchyard-translation/src/codex_tools.rs— 6 unit tests over the extension mapping, the argument-shape recovery, the buffered rewrite, the delta rename, and the two no-op cases.crates/switchyard-translation/tests/request_translation.rs— anadditional_toolsitem becomes the upstream toolset and does not leak into the conversation; it survives a same-format hop unchanged; acustomtool reaches a chat upstream as a callable function; acustom_tool_callin the replayed history becomes a chat tool call.Each new test was confirmed to fail before the change.
Live verification
One routed Codex 0.146.1 session, same config and same prompt, against two servers differing only by this commit:
main@ 053a61efunction_call+function_call_outputThe efficient tier answered both turns, so this is not an escalation artefact.
