A tiny pi extension that exposes Codex CLI web search as:

• a slash command: /codex-search <query>
• a tool the model can call: codex_websearch({ query, ... })

# 1) Install the pi package
pi install git:github.com/maxsumrall/pi-codex-websearch

# 2) Make sure Codex CLI is set up
codex login

Then in pi:

/codex-search what does codex --search do?

• codex CLI installed and on your PATH
• authenticated (codex login)

/codex-search what is the latest stable Node.js version?

Example prompt:

Use codex_websearch to look up X and include source URLs.

Tool params (all optional except query):

• query (string, required)
• mode ("live" | "cached", default: "live")
• maxSources (int, default: 6)
• timeoutMs (int, default: 120000)
• model (string) – passed to codex -m
• instructions (string) – appended to the Codex prompt

• Output is truncated to keep pi’s context small. When output is truncated (or Codex fails), the tool keeps a temp directory and includes an output path (see details.fullOutputPath or the message footer).
• This runs Codex in a temp directory with --sandbox read-only.
