 ### Added
 
 - 📋 **Task management tool.** AI models can now create, update, and track tasks within a chat conversation, breaking down complex requests into manageable steps with real-time status updates. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/bcb71bb5206ac01d97a39fde8ecf0e0541dde636)
-- 🤖 **Scheduled chat automations.** Users can now create, schedule, run, and manage recurring automations that execute prompts automatically with selected models and optional terminal context, while administrators can control access through user and group permissions and users can manage each automation from a dedicated editor page with execution logs, direct run controls, and longer run-history browsing via infinite-scroll logs. [#23303](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23303), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/5a2ff8b2e5b6f55a20f7ed491f818490eb535ea7), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/d30a0531d4add045c21a2368d6321a9b1906865f), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/bae5ff938ac88a3a647cc31ca8db1101015ae18b)
+- 🤖 **Scheduled chat automations.** Users can now create, schedule, run, and manage recurring automations from both the dedicated automations page and built-in chat tools, with execution logs, direct run controls, and permission-aware access control for user and group policies.

+- 🧰 **Automation tools in chat.** Built-in chat tools can now create, update, list, pause, and delete scheduled automations directly in conversation when automation access is enabled. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/588b81eedaacbfd7394b707ae1600d9fb729b809..674695918e5e3e1811314ce2a082c5bbb42d76b2)
 - 🤖 **Ollama responses support.** The Ollama proxy now supports the Responses API, letting clients use "/v1/responses" directly with Ollama-hosted models through Open WebUI. [#23483](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23483)
 - 📎 **Attach previously uploaded files.** The chat input menu now includes a Files tab for browsing and attaching previously uploaded files, eliminating the need to re-upload files you have already shared. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/edb8971c7dbd974322c3207c4655ff66479c3ee2)
 - 🖥️ **Terminal session tracking.** Open Terminal now tracks the current working directory per chat session, so relative paths and navigation work correctly across multiple interactions.

 - 🗂️ **Model selector focus.** The model selector now resets its search only when it opens, making the popup feel more predictable while still focusing the search field automatically. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/b89019a8e1f96e01dc8e19a81ef8fb4f4eae3eef)
 - 🗂️ **Model selector layout.** The model selector now behaves more predictably as a custom popup, and the completions playground uses a simpler model picker for easier selection. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c40ea7f29d34fa9535cdf9ffe599f4429ff3f455)
 - 🧩 **Theme updates.** Other windows can now update the app theme directly, keeping the interface in sync when theme changes are triggered externally. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/9f1b279e88bd22dfff4d2531209536dea6a2f65e)
+- ⚡ **Faster automation list loading.** The automations page now loads more smoothly by batching latest-run lookups and avoiding duplicate initial fetches. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/09f6d7ba57d2aaad83ad0d29d005feb7157776a1.diff)
 - 🏎️ **Streaming response efficiency.** Streaming responses now process each output line in a single step instead of two separate yields, reducing async overhead and improving responsiveness during long-running generations. [#23266](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23266)
 - ⚡ **Faster mention parsing.** Chat text with HTML-like content, file paths, or tool output now parses mentions more efficiently, which helps keep typing and rendering responsive in messages that contain many '<' characters. [#23551](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23551)
 - ⚡ **Faster code block rendering.** Code blocks now reuse a shared HTML unescape helper, reducing extra browser work when displaying encoded output in chat. [#23553](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23553)

 - 🔒 **Safer file access checks.** HTML file previews now treat missing or non-admin owners as inaccessible, preventing accidental access to files that should not be shown. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/6acaaea59a50ec26da03e6144017a2fd86241ce9)
 - 🖼️ **ComfyUI request hangs.** Concurrent image generation and editing requests to ComfyUI now complete reliably instead of getting stuck when the same user starts multiple requests at once. [#23592](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23592), [#23591](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23591)
 - ☁️ **Azure responses support.** Azure OpenAI connections now support the newer "/openai/v1" format, enabling chat, responses, and proxy calls to work correctly with that endpoint style. [#23484](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23484)
+- 🔐 **Permission-aware built-in tools.** Built-in tools now consistently respect user feature permissions for memories, web search, image generation, code interpreter, notes, channels, and automations, preventing tools from being exposed to users without access. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/588b81eedaacbfd7394b707ae1600d9fb729b809..674695918e5e3e1811314ce2a082c5bbb42d76b2)
 - 🛑 **Interrupted MCP cleanup stability.** Interrupted MCP tool calls no longer leave runaway cleanup behavior that can drive container CPU usage to 100%, keeping instances stable after cancellations or dropped connections. [#23143](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23143)
 - 🚪 **OAuth redirect URI reliability.** OAuth login redirects now use provider client metadata more consistently, preventing incorrect HTTP callback URLs behind reverse proxies and improving sign-in reliability for providers such as Feishu.

 - 🍪 **OAuth session cookie persistence.** OIDC sign-in now correctly sets the "oauth_session_id" cookie, so "system_oauth" connections can forward user OAuth tokens to upstream providers as expected.
