Direct answer
Codex remote approval is the controlled decision layer between an AI coding session and the next risky action. It lets a reviewer act remotely while still seeing the command, risk label, affected repo, diff, test evidence, and audit trail.
Where it fits
- A reviewer is away from a laptop but must approve a low-risk generated change.
- A remote on-call engineer needs to pause a session that attempted credential access.
- A global team wants approvals to follow time-zone duty rather than a single owner.
Operational steps
- Define which command classes require remote approval.
- Require identity, repo, task age, risk label, diff summary, and tests in each request.
- Open checkout and team setup before enabling live remote actions.
- Store the decision and make it exportable for audit review.
Common risks
- Remote approval should never expose secrets in the mobile card.
- A quick approve button without confirmation can create accidental deploys.
- Approval rules should distinguish read-only work from write, deploy, credential, and external-request actions.
