   I'm still confused about what this codemode is. Models have been trained to chain bash and other typical unix tools well. They're so good at that to an uncanny level. Why do we want to not utilize this ability? Is it just a permission management issue in case you don't want the model to use shell directly?

      yes codemode is when you want to utilize this ability AND you want MCP tool calls as part of your scripts

      codemode lets you execute scripts in a runtime where your MCP tools are made available as function calls

      this matters for cases where the MCP tool is the only way to do something and you do not have an equivalent CLI, API, whatever to script with
