…listing When an mcp-servers: key matches a recognised service identifier (kusto, icm, bluebird, es-chat, msft-learn, asa, stack, calculator, github), the compiler automatically adds that service's required hosts to the AWF network allowlist — no manual network.allowed: entries needed. Add a new '## Well-Known MCP Names and Automatic Networking' section to site/src/content/docs/reference/mcp.mdx with a reference table and example, plus a note distinguishing ado/ado-ext from user-defined MCPs. Also correct the misleading Security Notes item 4 which previously stated 'Users must explicitly allow external domains via network.allowed' without noting the well-known-name exception.

Summary
mcp-servers:key with a recognised service identifier (kusto,icm,bluebird,es-chat,msft-learn,asa,stack,calculator,github) no longer need to manually addnetwork.allowed:entries — the compiler silently auto-adds the required hosts. This behavior was completely undocumented.network.allowed" with no mention of the exception.Changes
