claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Managed Agents: gmail.googleapis.com blocked by egress proxy even with explicit allowed_hosts [1 participants]

Description

gmail.googleapis.com is unreachable from Managed Agent containers regardless of networking configuration. The egress proxy (SWP with TLS inspection) returns an HTML 403 that does not originate from Google — it lacks all standard Google API response headers (server: ESF, vary, x-xss-protection, etc.).

Environment configurations tested

All three configurations produce the same 403 result:

1. unrestricted networking (default)
2. unrestricted networking (fresh environment)
3. limited networking with explicit allowed_hosts: ["gmail.googleapis.com", "oauth2.googleapis.com", "www.googleapis.com"]

What works vs. what doesn't

Proof that credentials and API are valid

The exact same token.json and credentials.json (mounted via Files API) work perfectly from outside the sandbox:

$ python -c "
import json, requests
with open('token.json') as f: t = json.load(f)
resp = requests.post('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', data={...})
token = resp.json()['access_token']
r = requests.get('https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/profile',
                  headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'})
print(r.status_code, r.json())
"
200 {"emailAddress": "***@gmail.com", "messagesTotal": 3931, ...}

• Gmail API is enabled in the GCP project
• OAuth token scope: https://mail.google.com/ (confirmed via tokeninfo)
• Token refresh works inside the container

TLS inspection detail

The proxy performs MITM TLS inspection:

Issuer: O=Anthropic; CN=sandbox-egress-production TLS Inspection CA

The CONNECT tunnel to gmail.googleapis.com:443 is established, but the response at the HTTP layer is a synthetic 403 from the proxy infrastructure, not from Google's servers.

Reproduction

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

# Environment with explicit allowed_hosts
env = client.beta.environments.create(
    name="gmail-test",
    config={
        "type": "cloud",
        "networking": {
            "type": "limited",
            "allowed_hosts": ["gmail.googleapis.com", "oauth2.googleapis.com"],
            "allow_package_managers": True,
        },
    },
)

# Create session and ask agent to curl gmail.googleapis.com
session = client.beta.sessions.create(
    agent=AGENT_ID,
    environment_id=env.id,
)
# Send: "Run: curl -v https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/profile"
# Result: HTML 403 with no Google-specific headers

Expected behavior

gmail.googleapis.com should be reachable from Managed Agent containers when:

• Networking is set to unrestricted, OR
• The domain is explicitly listed in allowed_hosts with limited networking

Impact

This blocks any Managed Agent use case involving Gmail API (reading, sending, or managing email), which is a common automation scenario.
