# Codex

The Codex use case addresses the risk of overnight autonomous agents. Codex processes your backlog while you sleep, but without guardrails, it can push breaking changes or access resources beyond its scope before anyone notices. Civic gives you the ability to revoke Codex's access the instant something goes wrong, even at 3am. The page covers how to connect Codex through Civic, scope its tool access to exactly what the current task requires, and rely on the audit log to review everything it did while you were away. Every tool call is logged and every policy violation is blocked before it reaches your tools.
