Managed Agents hardens network and accessible URLs

The allowed_hosts restrictions also apply to web tools, and web_fetch denies URLs missing from the previous eligible context.

actual change

Facts, analysis and limits

Verified facts

  • Network limited: web_search and web_fetch submitted to allowed_hosts.
  • Disagreement allowed_domains/allowed_hosts: 400 errors at creation or update.
  • A URL appearing only in model output, a document or bash output is no longer sufficient for web_fetch.

What changes

Reduced exfiltration risk at the cost of more explicit integration.

Practical implication

Replay network tests and provide approved URLs in user.message.

Availability

Belgium/EEA: not specified in the source; access depends on the plan, rollout and administrator settings.

Limits and uncertainty

Change of compatibility that may interrupt existing workflows; unrestricted and self-hosted environments have different rules.
