The AI not having many tools to interact with the station is, I think, a critical part of its gameplay experience. It's the price you pay for being able to be everywhere, see everything, and manipulate virtually every door, power item, and computer. Besides, an AI capable of directly controlling bots will turbofuck antags. Setting arrest records on a guy isn't half as effective as bolting them into a room, watching to see which wall they start tearing down, and directly piloting a Beepsky next to it.
Besides, the reason no one builds robots is because they're all buggy as hell. Floorbots and cleanbots barely even function anymore, firebots are too slow to be useful for anything besides chem, the secbot control PDA program is slow and laggy and breaks down completely if more than two securitrons exist, and nobody trusts medibots to not be emagged.
