Audit your agent's session logs before an account appeal

A developer whose Claude account was banned mid-task had Codex audit 7,478 local session records for an appeal; they report no safety flags found, but the appeal was denied.

Done with OpenAI Codex

What they did

The poster had Claude Code switch their app to Google's new Gemini model and roll it out to production. On another machine their Claude account was banned mid-task. They asked Codex to audit 76 sessions and 52 transcript files from their Mac to see if any prompt or tool call broke a rule, then used the findings in a full-disclosure appeal.

How it went

They say Codex found zero safety refusals or warnings across 7,478 timestamped records. The appeal was still denied, with the reason switched to a general usage policy. Codex finished the integration work instead.

Worth knowing

They audited only the Mac and overlooked the other machine where the production rollout ran. They also suspect their overly candid appeal may have given reviewers a different rule to cite.

Try it yourself with OpenAI Codex

Review my local coding-agent session logs in [log folder path] from [start date] to [end date]. List every session and transcript file you checked, with counts. Flag any prompt, tool call or output that could look like a policy violation, a safety refusal or unusual automated activity. For each flag, quote the record and explain why. Then write a short, factual summary I could use in an account appeal. Show me the summary for review; do not send anything.
