Google managed agents expose sandbox controls

Google's Gemini API managed-agents documentation describes hosted Linux sandboxes, tool execution, environment lifetime, token-cost ranges, and network allowlist controls for agent interactions. Why it matters: Managed agent platforms are starting to make sandbox boundaries part of the product surface. Network egress, short-lived credentials, and human verification become design requirements rather than afterthoughts.

Try this: Use the docs as a security checklist for any hosted agent prototype: restrict outbound network access, pass only least-privilege credentials, and review generated code or data transformations before applying them.
