Using Codex with the MCP connector. No mater what I do it keeps insisting that the `createOrEditElementWorkflow` does not exist and that `createElementWorkflow` and `editElementWorkflow` both return as depreciated.

Is this accurate? Or a quirk of Codex? Anyone have success creating workflows with Claude?

Hi @TristanBeer 👋

It’s an issue on our side. The team is working on a fix which should be deployed later this week 🙂

Hello, Codex is having some trouble identifying the correct names for the tools. The ones you mentioned are indeed obsolete, but the correct names are: createFrontendWorkflow and editFrontendWorkflow.

When Codex gets stuck in a loop, it’s always a good idea to restart it or start a fresh session to avoid any persistent hallucinations.

Hi @Alexy and @Joyce! Thanks for your replies. I await the update eagerly! I will try feeding Codex those correct names and see if I can force it to use them.  
Other then this issue I have been having really good luck with Codex, so you guys are doing a great job with the MCP! Keep up the good work.
