A user report indicates Windsurf’s coding agent cannot access the expected todo_list planning tool when using the "GPT 5.2 Codex xHigh" model, causing it to proceed without plan updates. This suggests a model–tooling mismatch or disabled capability in the agent configuration; verify compatibility and tool exposure in your environment.
Agent workflows that depend on planning tools can silently degrade when tool manifests differ across models or configs.
Version drift without capability checks increases risk in CI/CD and developer workflows.
-
terminal
Add a startup probe that enumerates available tools per model and fails fast if todo_list/update_plan is missing.
-
terminal
Run regression tasks with and without planning tools to quantify impact on task completion and correctness.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Pin known-good model versions and record tool-manifest hashes; alert on drift and fall back to non-agent paths in CI.
- 02.
Introduce a feature flag for planning tools and add observability to detect when agents bypass planning.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Select frameworks that expose explicit tool manifests and support capability negotiation per model.
- 02.
Design agents and prompts to degrade gracefully when planning tools are unavailable, with clear user messaging.
