"""URL safety checks — blocks requests to private/internal network addresses.

Prevents SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) where a malicious prompt or
skill could trick the agent into fetching internal resources like cloud
metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), localhost services, or private
network hosts.

SECURITY FIX (V-005): Added connection-level validation to mitigate
DNS rebinding attacks (TOCTOU vulnerability). Uses custom socket creation
to validate resolved IPs at connection time, not just pre-flight.

Previous limitations now MITIGATED:
  - DNS rebinding (TOCTOU): MITIGATED via connection-level IP validation
  - Redirect-based bypass: Still relies on httpx hooks for direct requests
