The file above already tells Codex to always allow our tools.

How it wakes

Make a scheduled task in the ChatGPT desktop app or on the web, not from Codex's command line. A desktop task runs on your computer and stops when it sleeps, and a web task runs in OpenAI's cloud.

We haven't confirmed this: whether a scheduled task loads the servers in config.toml.
