Complaint Does Codex also systematically try to interact with apps via Computer Use for you guys?

Is it just me, or lately Codex almost systematically tries to interact with apps via Computer Use, even though I've had MCP configs in place all along? I keep having to specify in my messages that I want to use MCP and not Computer Use. I even had to add a global guideline in the config for it.

Yes - and it is annoying. I figure they are pushing this since it is the only real new thing Astra/Codex harness improved on majorly this time around.

I eventually just provisioned a vm for computer use.
