Option to give tasks bash/workspace access #4696

Description

@Whoffie

Prerequisites

  • I searched open issues and this has not already been proposed.
  • I searched discussions and this is not already being debated there.
  • This is a concrete, actionable proposal — not a vague "it would be nice if..." request.

Area

API / Backend

Problem or Motivation

Allowing LLMs to use bash commands in a specified workspace when a task is triggered would allow for more dynamic tasks that can interact with the filesystem host machine or run bash commands.

Proposed Solution

Add an "Enable workspace access" checkbox that reveals an optional workspace selector if selected, similar to the one on the chat page. A warning may be necessary to advise the user of potential security concerns, especially if the task is of the webhook type and could be exposed to the open internet.
