The linked history page shows edits done through QuickStatements and not mentioning Author Disambiguator anywhere. I opened the tool, and while I didn't look into it, there was also a link to QS. If it always edits through QS, there is no need for a change as QS is already listed as an automated tool.

Right, there are edits not done through QS as well, using three tags (see Special:Tags on Wikidata):

  • OAuth CID: 1417 (author-disambiguator [0.9]), ~14K edits, including recent ones
  • OAuth CID: 1445 (author-disambiguator [1.0]), over 1M edits, seems not to be in use any more
  • OAuth CID: 1740 (author-disambiguator [2.0]), ~390K edits, including recents
