The scheduled-task runner built the agent's tool set from RAG retrieval plus ASSISTANT_ALWAYS_AVAILABLE. Neither includes bash/python (nor the file tools), and no keyword hint force-includes them, so a task only saw the shell when the tool-embedding index happened to surface it. On hosts where that index is empty or degraded (e.g. a fresh Docker deploy), retrieval returns nothing and the task agent never receives bash/python — telling the user the shell is disabled even for an admin owner. Offer the shell/file group to task agents by default, mirroring the chat agent where these are on unless a privilege or global setting turns them off. The existing blocked_tools_for_owner() gate in stream_agent_loop still strips the whole group for non-admin multi-user owners and only admits it for admins and single-user (AUTH_ENABLED=false) deployments, so this changes what is offered, not who is allowed. A crew that defines an explicit enabled_tools allowlist still has its restriction honored. Also merge the operator's global disabled_tools setting into the scheduler's disabled set before composing relevant_tools and before entering the agent loop, matching what chat already does. Without it, the global tool-disable contract did not reach unattended scheduled tasks: an admin or AUTH_ENABLED=false task could still see and call shell/file tools the operator had turned off globally, since the prompt/schema/execution gates only enforce the disabled tools passed in.

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
