Codex Security is a Javascript package:

import { CodexSecurity } from "@openai/codex-security";

const security = new CodexSecurity();
const result = await security.run("/path/to/directory");
await security.run("/path/to/directory", {
  mode: "deep",
  workers: 2,
  subagents: 0,
  stopAfterNoNew: 3,
  maxDiscoveryRuns: 10,
  maxTimeHours: 1.5,
});

console.log(result.reportPath);
await security.close();

Use the included Docker Compose configuration for scans of many repositories. See the container quick start for more detail.

To use another inference provider, set its API key and select a model:

export AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="<your-bedrock-api-key>"
export AWS_REGION="us-east-2"
codex-security scan . --provider amazon-bedrock --model openai.gpt-5.6-luna

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="<your-openrouter-api-key>"
codex-security scan . --provider openrouter --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5

export FIREWORKS_API_KEY="<your-fireworks-api-key>"
codex-security scan . --provider fireworks --model accounts/fireworks/models/qwen3-235b-a22b
