I have noticed that in the games that I played that the auto combat AI tends to overuse any sort of operation on tactical combat even when it's not needed OR when I have less than 300 energy (IIRC auto operations should not use them if you are low in energy)
Things like using expensive operations even when the battle is over (I noticed doing it when the battle is over and it just have to chase a colonizer) should be looked upon.

Ideally there should be a button to disable usage of operations if you are in a tactical combat and click on auto combat.

there is already. go in operation tab and click on the tactical menu on the left (or right?) you will see all spells available. you can just tick and untick any spells you like for the AI to use or not use whilein autobattle.
but this needs to be set beforehands. tho when a battle occur and don't wnat the AI to use any spells at all you can just untick the "tactical operation when autobattle" option on the battle screen just above "manual battle" button.

See @akinata answer. There is one already. And not only that, you can also disable all or some operations. That way you can set the AI to only spawning one operation :)

See here, if you want, or to check the other changes on the patch:

There are now checkboxes in the tactical operation list on the world map which you can use to determine if the AI will use those operations during auto-combat.

:)
