Codex Control Plane MCP

What it does

• codex_get_operation_status: Polls the status of a specific operation.
• codex_start_plan_workflow: Initiates a Plan Mode workflow for complex task decomposition.
• codex_approve_plan: Approves a generated plan to begin execution.
• codex_get_runtime_capabilities: Retrieves a snapshot of available models and permissions.
• codex_health_summary: Checks current readiness and identifies historical debt.
