Codex Hooks and Programmatic Access Tokens
Customize the Codex loop with scripted hooks, and issue scoped credentials for Business and Enterprise automation.

Details
- Hooks run scripts at key points in a Codex task: validators before or after work, secret scanning on prompts, conversation logging, and per-repo or per-directory memory and behavior.
- Programmatic access tokens are scoped credentials created from ChatGPT workspace settings.
- Tokens work in CI, release workflows, and internal automations, with expirations and revocation.
- Programmatic access tokens are limited to Business and Enterprise teams.
