CODEX TIGHTENS MCP PLUMBING WHILE NODE SDK SHIPS ASYNC STREAMING

Codex is systematizing how agents talk to external tools: concurrent writes now serialize, tool catalogs cache across sessions, and failure details stick around through imports.

The Codex team shipped four infrastructure improvements targeting the MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer, the backbone of agent-to-tool communication. Most critical: concurrent MCP stdin writes now serialize through a semaphore [1], closing a race condition where overlapping JSON-RPC messages could arrive out of order. Tool catalog caching [2] is a quality-of-life win that stops new sessions from waiting for stdio MCP server initialization, reusing catalogs from matching configurations with a 32-entry cache and 30-minute TTL. The agent listing endpoint [3] is now cleaner, returning only agent names and status instead of task message metadata. Plugin failure details [4] now propagate through imports with a new `subErrorType` field, giving operators visibility into why an install failed beyond the generic error. On the Node SDK front, v6.47.0 [5] adds async event iterators and a `fromReadableStream` utility for ResponseStream, expanding streaming capabilities for consumer code. These are the kind of invisible-unless-broken improvements that keep agent systems stable at scale.
