# Codex Multi-Agent V2 update raises developer concerns over agent transparency

**[InfoWorld](https://daily.dev/sources/infoworld)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OpenAI's Codex CLI Multi-Agent V2 update has introduced encrypted inter-agent communication, removing developer visibility into instructions passed between parent and sub-agents.

Analysts warn that opaque agent orchestration creates serious governance, compliance, and auditability challenges for enterprises — particularly in regulated industries like banking and healthcare — and could slow production deployments of mission-critical AI systems.
