Codex VSCode Extension - Agent (full access) always asks for approval
OpenAI Developer Community
February 18, 2026
I am also impacted by this. Codex asks for approval for every single file change.
I have set
approval_policy = “on-failure”
sandbox_mode = “workspace-write”
And the folder is marked as Trusted Workspace. I tried version 0.5.76 (pre release) and 0.4.75 (release).
Any guidance?
