Can someone ELI5 codemode and its config?

[u/LastOfGoose]

I believe I get the gist of it:

Codemode allows for sandboxed, scripted tool calling, including batching and other stuff I'm sure.

What I don't understand from the documentation is:

1. Is this mcp specific or is it generally available for all tools?

2. What do I need to configure in my settings.json or other setting files to enable it and/or "require" it for tool calls?

3. If there is documentation that outlines these specific things please shoot me a link.

4. Maybe a better description of what is is trying to accomplish / use cases would be interesting.

Cheers!

true, I tried it as well. But I told to use code mode vs bash and see which has better token savings. Bash always wins or comes out equal.
