Solid security improvement — the per-turn URL allowlist with runtime enforcement, redirect validation, and prompt-scoped <user_provided_urls> is the right defense-in-depth design for preventing prompt-injection-driven SSRF and data exfiltration through fetch_url_tool. Keeping the allowlist in the user turn (not the cache_control system prefix) preserves prompt-cache byte-stability, and the refactor to share _prepend_block_to_latest_user_turn is clean.
Verified locally: all 26 tests pass (test_fetch_url_allowlist.py + test_tools_agent_route_response_shape.py + test_prompt_cache_integration.py).
Two design points worth a maintainer's explicit nod before this leaves draft:
-
Same-host broadening:
is_url_allowlistedfalls back to hostname comparison, so a user typinghttps://example.com/articleimplicitly allows any path onexample.com(e.g./admin). Reasonable for a browsing assistant and necessary for canonical redirects, but it does widen the blast radius per allowlisted host. -
REST execute_tool path:
test_execute_tool_does_not_self_allowlist_fetch_urlconfirms thatuser_provided_urlsis intentionally absent from the REST tool-execution configurable, sofetch_url_toolwould always block through that path. If that's the intended posture (fetch only via the streaming agent), it's worth a one-line note in the PR scope section; if not, it's a gap to close before merge.
No blockers from automation review — these are confirmations, not change requests. Looking forward to this landing once it's ready.

When a user says, for example, “open the link in my latest email” without typing the URL, this exception tells the model that it may fetch the URL returned by the email tool, while the next sentence and is_url_allowlisted prohibit the call because no current-turn allowlist exists. The model can therefore follow the safety prompt and still receive a deterministic tool error; remove the exception or implement the same explicit-consent contract in the runtime allowlist.

Fixed in 7bf8fa7d56. The exception is removed; the prompt now states the enforceable contract and tells the model to ask for the link to be pasted into the message.

Fresh evidence after the fixture change is that _stub_module still inserts langchain_core.tools into sys.modules during test-module collection when the real module has not been imported; the fixture restores only its tool attribute, so the fake module remains process-wide after teardown. Tests that dynamically import production tools later can therefore receive this incomplete stub and fail or expose raw functions depending on collection order; install and remove the entire stub with monkeypatch inside the fixture.

Fixed in 3d06964e15, though not with monkeypatch. The passthrough is now installed only when this file created the stub; when the real langchain_core.tools is already loaded its decorator is left alone, which is the case that actually caused the process-wide leak. Regression test imports the harness with the real package loaded and asserts decorator identity survives and still yields a tool with .ainvoke.

When the current user turn contains a malformed bracketed URL such as https://[, extraction can place it in the allowlist, but urlparse(candidate_url) raises ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL here before the tool's exception handler is entered. Invoking the allowlisted URL therefore aborts the tool coroutine and can terminate the agent iteration instead of returning a bounded URL error; parse inside the guarded block or catch ValueError before continuing.

Fixed in e5123160f4. urlparse is now guarded in both fetch_url_tool and _canonical_user_url, so https://[ returns a bounded error and a malformed allowlist entry no longer aborts an otherwise valid fetch. Two regression tests, mutation-verified.
…r files test_chat_agent_provider_retry.py imports _get_agentic_module from test_prompt_cache_integration.py, so the stubbed langchain_core.tools module lands in sys.modules for that file too. The `tool` attribute was installed by an autouse fixture scoped to the prompt-cache file, so the other file reached web_tools' import-time `from langchain_core.tools import tool` against a bare stub and every test errored at collection with ImportError. Install `tool` on the stub itself, and add the gateway_client names the lazily imported Perplexity tool needs. The Perplexity proxy falls back to its declared schema when the loaded tool object has no args_schema, which is only reachable under the passthrough decorator; the real @tool always supplies one. Failure-Class: none
The Perplexity args_schema fallback restructure adds 3 lines.

Fresh evidence beyond the prior terminal-punctuation reports is that an explicitly delimited URL such as <https://example.com/path?> is now preserved in the allowlist, but reconstructing it with urlunparse drops the empty ?, so the request is sent to /path rather than /path?. HTTP clients preserve that distinction when given the original URL, and servers, signatures, or caches can distinguish the two request targets; retain the exact allowlisted URL instead of round-tripping it through parsed components.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in e5123160f4. The outbound URL is no longer round-tripped through urlunparse; only the scheme is lowercased in place, so https://example.com/path? is requested exactly as validated. Regression test asserts the URL handed to _fetch_page.
…rget exact Two defects on the fetch_url egress boundary, both reported by Codex review: - `urlparse` raises `ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL` on a bracketed URL such as `https://[`. The URL pattern matches it, so it can reach the current-turn allowlist, and the parse happened outside the tool's exception handler. Both invoking that URL and holding it as an allowlist entry alongside a valid one aborted the tool coroutine instead of returning a bounded error. Parsing now fails closed: the tool returns an error string, and a malformed allowlist entry simply never matches. - The outbound URL was rebuilt with `urlunparse`, which drops delimiters the allowlist identity preserved (an empty query loses its `?`), so the request went to a different target than the one validated. Only the scheme is normalized now, in place. Verification: mutation-verified each regression test by reverting the guard and confirming the test fails, then restoring it. Failure-Class: none
…ol decorator `_stub_module` returns the already-imported real module when one exists, so the unconditional `langchain_tools_mod.tool = _passthrough_tool` overwrote `langchain_core.tools.tool` process-wide whenever a test file collected earlier had imported the real package. Every production tool module imported after that point received the passthrough and exposed a raw function with no `.ainvoke` -- an order-dependent failure, and the second instance of this stub-pollution class on this branch. The passthrough is now installed only when this file created the stub; when the real module is present, its own decorator is left alone. The regression test imports the harness module with the real package already loaded and asserts the decorator identity survives and still produces a tool with `.ainvoke`. Mutation-verified: forcing the assignment unconditional makes it fail. Failure-Class: none
…ot honor AGENT_SAFETY_INSTRUCTIONS told the model it could fetch a URL found in retrieved data "unless the user explicitly asks you to in their own message", but `is_url_allowlisted` only ever admits URLs the user typed in the current turn. A user saying "open the link in my latest email" therefore led the model to follow the safety prompt and still receive a deterministic security error. The prompt now states the enforceable contract and tells the model to ask for the link to be pasted, so the guidance matches what the guard permits. Reported by Codex review. Behaviour of the guard is unchanged; only the instruction that contradicted it is removed. Failure-Class: none

Fresh evidence after native server-side search was removed is that gateway-mode requests still register perplexity_web_search_tool, whose query is sent externally without any runtime provenance check. If an allowlisted page prompt-injects the model after a memory, email, or screen tool returns sensitive data, the model can place that data in a Perplexity query despite this prompt-only prohibition; route managed searches through an equivalent enforcement boundary or remove that egress surface from untrusted tool loops.

Thanks for continuing to harden this path. The allowlist direction is good, but I think one security gap still needs to be closed before this lands.
Blocking issue:
backend/utils/retrieval/tools/web_tools.py:_fetch_page()validates_hostname_is_public(hostname)and then callsclient.stream('GET', url, ...)with the original hostname. That leaves a DNS-rebinding/TOCTOU gap: the validation lookup can see a public IP, while httpx performs a second lookup for the actual connection and can be pointed at a private/reserved address. The repo already documents the required pattern inbackend/utils/http_client.py(assert_public_http_url/safe_request_target/pin_to_resolved_ip): callers that validate a URL must connect to the exact resolved IP, preserving Host/SNI separately. Please makefetch_url_tooluse an equivalent pinned-target flow for the initial request and each redirect hop, and add a regression test where the guard lookup returns public but the request-time resolver would hit169.254.169.254(or loopback).
File-specific notes from this pass:

I’m requesting changes only for the DNS-rebinding/pinned-connect issue; the rest of the direction looks sound. Because this is the security-sensitive URL egress path and it also touches workflow guard coverage, it still needs maintainer sign-off after that gap is closed.

…rebinding _fetch_page validated the hostname resolves to a globally routable address and then let httpx re-resolve the hostname at connect time, leaving a TOCTOU gap: the guard lookup could see a public IP while the actual connection was pointed at a private/reserved address. Connect to the exact resolved IP via pin_to_resolved_ip (Host header + TLS SNI preserved) on the initial request and every redirect hop. Regression test asserts the client only ever receives the pinned IP and would raise if handed the hostname (a re-resolution that would reach 169.254.169.254). Merge origin/main and keep the mobile-dispatcher trigger coverage on the release-process guards lane. Failure-Class: none

Fresh evidence after the outbound reconstruction fix is that _canonical_user_url still maps https://host/path and https://host/path? to the same tuple because urlparse represents both queries as ''. An injected tool call can therefore toggle the empty ? while passing is_url_allowlisted; the now-exact outbound request preserves that toggle, and the server can distinguish the two request targets, recreating a one-bit-per-call exfiltration channel. Include delimiter presence in the canonical identity rather than comparing only parsed.query.

When two HTTPS hostnames resolve to the same public IP, both requests use the same shared web_fetch client and the same pinned URL origin (https://<ip>:<port>). The pool can therefore reuse a connection established and certificate-checked with the first hostname's SNI for a later request whose Host/SNI extension names a different hostname, so the second hostname is not independently authenticated and SNI-routed virtual hosts can return content from the wrong site. Preserve the original origin in connection-pool identity or prevent keep-alive reuse across original hostnames.

When the user allowlists a URL such as https://example.com:8443/path, pin_to_resolved_ip connects to port 8443 but supplies Host: example.com, omitting the original authority's port. Virtual-host routing and request-signature middleware can therefore reject the request or serve a different site even though the exact URL passed the allowlist. Build the Host header from the original hostname plus its non-default port, with brackets where required for IPv6.

When a hostname has multiple public addresses and the first getaddrinfo result is unreachable—commonly an unusable AAAA result followed by a working A result—this returns only that first address and the pinned request fails without trying the remaining safe records. The previous hostname-based client could perform normal address fallback, so otherwise valid allowlisted pages now fail depending on resolver ordering and network IPv6 support. Retain the safe results and attempt them with bounded fallback rather than discarding all but the first.

The previous guard denylisted RFC-1918, loopback, link-local, CGNAT and IPv6 private ranges. Everything else resolved as fetchable, which left these reachable:
