What subscription do you have?
api keys
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
my gpt cannot use codex computer use for unknown reason
What steps can reproduce the bug?
i asked gpt 6 astra a sample @computer-use Play a playlist to help me lock in it answer:
I couldn’t access the computer controls to start playback. Try Deep Focus on Spotify—ambient, mostly instrumental music for settling in and concentrating.
so i asked why you can't, show me your error
it return
The computer-control tool returned this error when I tried to access it:
unsupported call: mcp__cua_repl
I then tried the general tool entry point, which returned:
unsupported call: functions
So I couldn’t reach your computer controls or start playback. These errors show the tool calls weren’t supported in this session; they don’t tell me the underlying cause.
What is the expected behavior?
No response

No response

Done means computer controls are available and the requested playlist can be started.
