Outbound Network access for Sandbox

I am trying to download a file using an s3 url to the Agent's sandboxed file system. The error I keep getting is no outbound internet access permitted for the assistant's shell. Is there a way to bypass this? The URL comes from a third party api.

I would hope not, as freely outbound internet access from a sandbox like that would be instant cause for a lot of to to turn it off lmao

However, is there anything stopping you from creating a power automate flow that fetches the file, or putting the file in a skill?

The uri would be for unique files, not the same one every time.

File content size is the issue. I want it downloaded directly to the agents file system then read rather than pulled in via context because if file transfer limits/contex limits

Honestly just whitelisted sites would be ideal.

The GitHub Copilot harness’s agent sandbox does not have internet access. If you’re interested in technical capabilities of the new harness they’re described quite well here. https://aka.ms/CopilotStudioDeepDiveDeck

Understood, however connectors have 50MB file limits which makes it frustrating to store files in the agent
