Huh, ok. Although I think "agent" is a broader term in AI that maybe Cursor is using in that specific way. Like, I've seen a lot of agents that have nothing to do with coding. I don't get the impression that Codex is meant to be used in a code editor.
But "it does the work directly" seems right.

in Cursor it's a specific mode.
Elsewhere, it's more like delegating passive tasks to AI. Lotta hype here around MCP servers, n8n, etc.
Regarding Codex, I would assume most people would use it alongside/in their editor to review and confirm the files it's creating/updating.
