On the other hand, I've found that agentic tools are basically useless if they have to ask for every single thing. I think it makes the most sense to just sandbox the agentic environment completely (including disallowing remote access from within build tools, pulling dependencies from a controlled repository only). If the agent needs to look up docs or code, it will have to do so from the code and docs that are in the project.

The entire value proposition of agentic AI is doing multiple steps, some of which involve tool use, between user interactions. If there’s a user interaction at every turn, you are essentially not doing agentic AI anymore.
If the entire value proposition doesn’t work without critical security implications, maybe it’s a bad plan.
