When should I use this over Codex? Is this supposed to be called by other tools/agents?

Codex = agent harness

OpenAI CLI = wrapper around API

> wrapper around API

aka curl? :-/

Curl with token usage so it’s better.

to be fair `gh` works so much better for me than crafting curl requests (even with LLMs)

Showing some grey hairs here -- is gh here the github cli or something else/newer?

Yes

If you've never touched a SaaS/IaaS cli tool, yes, thats what they are.

that was my assumption, maybe you use Claude but want it to use OpenAI image generation or something. this got a physical shrug out of me.
