Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Acknowledging broad exposure to make the error go away without scoping credentials Other error fragments: - broad credential authority cannot be exposed to a helper inside a model-controlled sandbox by default - Manifest.with_in_container_mount_credential_exposure_acknowledged() Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-python/61e98ab7bd0d993eed4c65bb8b68320075227417/src/agents/sandbox/_mount_security.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Credential-boundary validation returns MountConfigError messages for unacknowledged mount-scoped/broad credential exposure and unsupported credential fields.
