What is "tool-call limit" for codex inside Intellij
Hello,
after reading that intellij now supports native Codex i decided to try it - perhaps i can get rid of Cursor. I fixed the login and opened up a chat inside my project.
I then asked a test-question and immediately got:
If you share the current XXX and XXX can rewrite them to match this API: add defaults, optional overrides, and keep styling fully encapsulated so XXX ZZZ get the same look with minimal setup.
I then wrote “Why can't you open them?”
I hit the tool-call limit in this chat session, so I couldn’t fetch XXX and XXX. If you paste those two files here (or let me know I can re-run the lookups), I’ll review… etc.
I have no idea what this is, but this was literally the first thing that happened in the chat.
If intellij is to be useful as a Cursor replacement, i must be able to work with the chats as i do with Codex from the terminal. So, is there anything i can do?

Unlike the terminal where you pipe context manually, IntelliJ’s Codex integration relies on a background indexing service to "see" your project; if that index isn't ready or the plugin's permissions are restricted, the model acts as if it's blind. To fix this, ensure "Allow AI to access project context" is enabled in your IDE settings and try manually attaching the files to the chat using the @ symbol or the "Add Context" button to force the link servicefinancecompany login
Things to try:
1. Start a new chat and retry (this resets the per‑chat tool‑call counter).
2. Attach/paste the files you want it to review (or add them via the chat’s “Add context/Attach” option) so it doesn’t need to spend tool calls discovering them.
3. Make sure the IDE is allowed to access project context for AI features (if context access is disabled, it may behave like it can’t “see” files).
If you hit the tool‑call limit immediately again in a fresh chat, please share your IDE version, AI Assistant plugin version, and the relevant IDE logs from right after reproducing it, so we can investigate.
