JKToolKit.CodexSDK.SemanticKernel 0.0.168

Semantic Kernel Adapter

JKToolKit.CodexSDK.SemanticKernel adapts Semantic Kernel native functions to Codex app-server dynamic tools.

This is useful when you already have SK plugins marked with [KernelFunction] and want Codex app-server to call them through its item/tool/call flow.

NuGet package: JKToolKit.CodexSDK.SemanticKernel

Install

Install the adapter package into the project that owns your Semantic Kernel plugins:

dotnet add package JKToolKit.CodexSDK.SemanticKernel

The adapter package depends on JKToolKit.CodexSDK and Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Abstractions. If your project does not already reference Semantic Kernel's core package, add it too:

dotnet add package Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Core --version 1.75.0

Usage

using JKToolKit.CodexSDK;
using JKToolKit.CodexSDK.AppServer;
using JKToolKit.CodexSDK.Models;
using JKToolKit.CodexSDK.SemanticKernel;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;

var kernelBuilder = Kernel.CreateBuilder();
kernelBuilder.Plugins.AddFromObject(new OrderPizzaPlugin(), "OrderPizza");
var kernel = kernelBuilder.Build();

var skTools = SemanticKernelCodexToolAdapter.Create(kernel);

await using var sdk = CodexSdk.Create(builder =>
{
    builder.ConfigureAppServer(o =>
    {
        o.ExperimentalApi = true;
        o.ApprovalHandler = skTools.ApprovalHandler;
    });
});

await using var codex = await sdk.AppServer.StartAsync();
var thread = await codex.StartThreadAsync(new ThreadStartOptions
{
    Cwd = Environment.CurrentDirectory,
    Sandbox = CodexSandboxMode.ReadOnly,
    ApprovalPolicy = CodexApprovalPolicy.Never,
    DynamicTools = skTools.DynamicTools
});

await using var turn = await codex.StartTurnAsync(thread.Id, new TurnStartOptions
{
    Input = [TurnInputItem.Text("Order one large pepperoni pizza and checkout.")]
});

Run the end-to-end pizza demo:

dotnet run --project src/JKToolKit.CodexSDK.Demo -- sk-function-calling --repo "<repo-path>"

The demo inherits the default model from your Codex configuration. To force a model, pass --model <MODEL>, for example:

dotnet run --project src/JKToolKit.CodexSDK.Demo -- sk-function-calling --model gpt-5.5

Notes

• Codex dynamic tools are currently behind the app-server experimental API capability, so set CodexAppServerClientOptions.ExperimentalApi = true.
• Tool names use Semantic Kernel's plugin/function naming pattern: PluginName-function_name.
• Unknown app-server server requests are delegated to the optional fallback handler passed to SemanticKernelCodexToolAdapter.Create.
