Routines and background jobs were unable to use any tools that required approval (file ops, shell, message, http), making them effectively useless. This adds an ApprovalContext system that lets autonomous jobs pre-authorize tools at dispatch time. - Add ApprovalContext enum with Autonomous variant that auto-approves UnlessAutoApproved tools and optionally pre-authorizes Always tools - Add tool_permissions field to RoutineAction::FullJob for pre-authorizing Always-gated tools (e.g. destructive shell, cross-channel messaging) - Add Scheduler::dispatch_job_with_context() to thread approval context through to workers - Set message tool default channel/target from routine NotifyConfig so routines can send results without cross-channel approval - Fix Completed→Completed state transition error in worker (plan marks job completed, then direct loop or outer run() tries again) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Code Review
This pull request introduces a new ApprovalContext to allow autonomous jobs to execute tools that require approval by pre-authorizing them, which is a great enhancement for routines. However, the current implementation has two significant security flaws: RoutineCreateTool defaults to Never approval, potentially allowing prompt injection to create routines with arbitrary permissions, and the Autonomous context automatically permits all UnlessAutoApproved tools, bypassing tool_permissions restrictions. Additionally, there are opportunities to reduce code duplication for better maintainability, and a potential issue where subtasks might not inherit the approval context, which could impact complex autonomous jobs.

The ApprovalContext::is_blocked method is implemented such that all tools with ApprovalRequirement::UnlessAutoApproved are automatically permitted in an Autonomous context (used for routines). This means that any tool categorized as UnlessAutoApproved (which often includes sensitive operations like file writes or network requests) will be allowed to run in any routine without explicit authorization in tool_permissions. This significantly increases the risk of autonomous jobs performing sensitive actions without explicit user consent, especially if an attacker can manipulate the routine's prompt via injection.

This is by design. Routines run autonomously and need basic tools like file read/write, http, and memory to function. Only Always-approval tools (shell, message) require explicit listing in tool_permissions. Blocking UnlessAutoApproved would break all routine functionality since even memory_write and read_file use that level. The defense-in-depth here is: (1) routines are created by the user with explicit tool_permissions, (2) the routine prompt is user-authored, (3) tool outputs still go through the safety layer.

When calling execute_tool_task from spawn_subtask, None is passed for approval_context. This means subtasks will not inherit the ApprovalContext from their parent job and will use default approval logic. This could cause tools to be incorrectly blocked in autonomous routines that spawn subtasks. The ApprovalContext should be passed down to subtasks, which may require modifying the Task::ToolExec enum.

Added TODO comment in 55d4acb. spawn_subtask is only called by spawn_batch which is not used in any production code path — only in scheduler tests. Will propagate ApprovalContext when subtasks are actually used in routine/autonomous paths.

There's significant code duplication between dispatch_job and dispatch_job_with_context. The logic for creating the job, updating metadata, and persisting it is identical in both functions. To improve maintainability, consider extracting this common logic into a private helper function. This aligns with the principle of consolidating related sequences of operations into a single reusable method to improve code consistency and maintainability.

This approval check logic is duplicated in src/agent/scheduler.rs inside execute_tool_task. To avoid duplication, this logic could be extracted into a static helper method on ApprovalContext itself. For example:
// in ApprovalContext
pub fn is_blocked_or_default(context: &Option<Self>, tool_name: &str, requirement: ApprovalRequirement) -> bool {
match context {
Some(ctx) => ctx.is_blocked(tool_name, requirement),
None => requirement.is_required(),
}
}Then both call sites could be simplified to let blocked = ApprovalContext::is_blocked_or_default(&deps.approval_context, tool_name, requirement);.

execute_tool_task is now approval-context aware, but this call site always passes None, which forces the legacy behavior (blocking all non-Never tools). This defeats the new autonomous ApprovalContext in scheduler-driven tool execution paths. Pass through the relevant approval_context (e.g., from the job/worker deps or message payload) instead of hardcoding None.

This test’s name/docstring claims the second completion “must not surface as an error”, but the assertion explicitly expects an error on the second mark_completed(). Either (a) update the test to exercise the real regression path described (e.g., calling run()/execution loop such that a second completion attempt is safely ignored), or (b) rename/reword the test to reflect that mark_completed() is expected to error when called twice.

The doc comment describes both interactive and autonomous environments, but the enum currently only models the autonomous case. Either add an explicit interactive variant (if this type is intended to represent both modes), or update the docs to avoid implying interactive-session behavior is represented by ApprovalContext.

- Rewrite the routine_news_digest E2E trace to exercise the full

The new test name/docstring says marking a Completed job completed again “does not error”, but the assertions expect an error (and the comment even states the Completed → Completed transition is invalid). Either rename/reword the test to match what it actually verifies, or change it to exercise the real regression (the worker run loop should not attempt a second Completed transition when execution_loop already completed the job).

Setting the message tool’s default channel/target via ToolRegistry mutates shared global state. Because the scheduler can run multiple jobs concurrently, this can race with other jobs/interactive turns and cause messages to be sent to the wrong channel/target when the message tool is invoked without explicit params (and it also affects requires_approval() decisions). Prefer storing the routine’s notify channel/target in the JobContext (e.g., metadata) and applying it per-job immediately before message tool approval/execute, or require routines to always pass explicit channel/target instead of relying on global defaults.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This test assumes the “fire” conversational reply will always be at responses[1]. Because the routine worker runs asynchronously and broadcasts to the same channel, the broadcast message could arrive before/after the conversational reply depending on scheduling, making the index-based assertion flaky. Consider locating the fire confirmation response by content (similar to message_broadcast) rather than relying on a fixed position.

Comment says the routine worker executes “echo + memory_write + message”, but the trace fixture/expected tool chain here is http → memory_write → message. Updating the comment to match the actual tools exercised will avoid confusion when debugging this test.

set_message_tool_context() mutates the global MessageTool defaults (shared ToolRegistry state). In concurrent routine runs or while an interactive session is active, this can race and cause messages to be sent with the wrong channel/target and can also change message.requires_approval() outcomes across jobs. Prefer making channel/target a per-job/per-call input (e.g., pass explicitly in tool args or derive from JobContext metadata) rather than mutating shared global state.

TestRigBuilder::build(self) conditionally moves self.http_exchanges here, but the function continues to access other self.* fields afterward (e.g. self.enable_routines, and later self.max_tool_iterations). This will fail to compile due to a partial move of self. Consider destructuring self into locals at the top of build (including enable_routines and http_exchanges) or changing the method to take mut self and using std::mem::take(&mut self.http_exchanges) so self remains usable for subsequent fields.

routine_fire ultimately calls RoutineEngine::fire_manual, which (unlike cron/event firing paths) does not apply the routine cooldown guardrail. This means a manual trigger can spam runs even when cooldown_secs is set, which could cause unexpected load/cost. If cooldown is meant to be respected for manual fires too, add a cooldown check in fire_manual or enforce it in this tool before firing; otherwise clarify in the tool description/docs that manual fires bypass cooldown.

routine_fire can immediately dispatch a routine run (bypassing schedule/trigger/cooldown per the description), but the tool does not override requires_approval() and therefore defaults to ApprovalRequirement::Never. With full_job routines + tool_permissions, this can become an approval bypass path for Always-gated tools. Add a requires_approval() implementation (at least UnlessAutoApproved, potentially Always) so interactive sessions must explicitly approve firing routines.

Good catch. Added requires_approval() -> UnlessAutoApproved to routine_fire in fc15ff0.
Two fixes for message tool failures in autonomous routine jobs: 1. MessageTool::requires_approval() now returns UnlessAutoApproved when the explicit channel param matches the default channel (was Always, causing "requires authentication" errors for routine workers). 2. routine_create tool now accepts notify_channel and notify_user params, wired into NotifyConfig. Without these, routines had channel: None, so set_message_tool_context was never called, causing "No channel specified" errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…-context Resolved conflicts in message.rs (kept same-channel UnlessAutoApproved fix over main's Always behavior) and test_rig.rs (combined extra_tools from main with enable_routines/http_exchanges from this branch, added trace_llm_ref tracking).

name is a &str borrowed from params and is then held across .await points, which will fail to compile in an async function due to borrowing a local across suspension. Convert name to an owned String immediately (e.g., let name = require_str(...)? .to_string();) and then pass &name to async calls / use it in error messages and the result JSON.

False positive — params is owned by the function, so the &str borrow from it lives for the function's lifetime. This compiles and runs correctly (verified by CI).

This updates shared/global message tool defaults, which can race when multiple jobs/routines run concurrently (e.g., one routine can accidentally change another routine’s default channel/target, impacting both routing and approval behavior). Prefer setting per-job message context (e.g., store notify channel/user in JobContext/metadata and have MessageTool resolve defaults from the executing job context rather than global mutable state).

Test name is confusing (“never_always”). Consider renaming to something more specific to the behavior under test (e.g., test_approval_context_never_is_not_blocked) to improve readability and intent.

Renamed to test_approval_context_never_is_not_blocked in fc15ff0.
The message tool only sends to user-owned channels via ChannelManager::broadcast (TUI, Telegram, Slack, web gateway, etc.). It cannot reach arbitrary external services, so approval adds friction with no security benefit. This also eliminates the routine context errors entirely since approval is never checked.

with_routines() claims it enables routines so routine tools are registered/functional, but build() currently registers routine tools unconditionally (and uses a RoutineEngine constructed with scheduler: None). This means routine tools may be present even when routines are “disabled”, but full_job execution will fail (no scheduler), and the builder flag doesn’t actually control tool availability. Gate routine tool registration/engine creation behind enable_routines (or rely on Agent::run() to register them when routine_config.enabled).

Updated docstring to clarify that with_routines() enables scheduler wiring, not tool registration. Fixed in 1a38775.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The new comment says the message tool “cannot reach arbitrary external services”, but ChannelManager::broadcast can send to external integrations (Telegram/Slack/web gateway/etc.) depending on configured channels. Either reintroduce an approval requirement for higher-risk sends (e.g., cross-channel/explicit channel), or adjust the comment + surrounding security assumptions (e.g., routine tool_permissions docs and routine engine comments) to match the new behavior.

Reworded to 'only delivers to channels the user has configured' in 1a38775.

The tool_permissions schema/description still uses message as an example of an Always-approval tool (“cross-channel messaging”), but MessageTool::requires_approval() now returns Never. Update this description/examples to reflect the current approval model (e.g., use shell / HTTP with credentials as examples) so users don’t think message needs to be pre-authorized.

Good catch — updated example to ['shell'] since message is now Never. Fixed in 1a38775.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
routine_fire returns ApprovalRequirement::UnlessAutoApproved, but in autonomous jobs ApprovalContext::Autonomous auto-approves UnlessAutoApproved tools. That means a routine full_job can invoke routine_fire (and spawn more jobs/runs) without being listed in tool_permissions, despite the comment calling it a “meaningful escalation”. Consider changing this to ApprovalRequirement::Always so autonomous contexts block it unless explicitly permitted, and interactive sessions still prompt.

By design — routine_fire is an interactive tool (the user asks the agent to fire a routine). Routines don't fire other routines, so this never runs in autonomous context. In interactive mode, UnlessAutoApproved prompts once then auto-approves.
