Fields default to null; on update, omitted fields preserve the existing value. - `type: "cloud"` Environment type - `networking: optional BetaUnrestrictedNetwork or BetaLimitedNetworkParams or null` Network configuration policy. Omit on update to preserve the existing value. - `BetaUnrestrictedNetwork object` Unrestricted network access. - `type: "unrestricted"` Network policy type - `BetaLimitedNetworkParams object` Limited network request params. Fields default to null; on update, omitted fields preserve the existing value. - `type: "limited"` Network policy type - `allow_mcp_servers: optional boolean or null` Permits outbound access to MCP server endpoints configured on the agent, beyond those listed in the `allowed_hosts` array. Defaults to `false`. - `allow_package_managers: optional boolean or null` Permits outbound access to public package registries (PyPI, npm, etc.) beyond those listed in the `allowed_hosts` array. Defaults to `false` on creation. Must be `true` when `packages` are specified. - `allowed_hosts: optional array of string or null` Specifies domains the container can reach. - `packages: optional BetaPackagesParams or null` Package manager configuration.
