Removes documentation and guidance for tools.github.bounded-queries (bounded private cross-repo Q&A) from the Agentic Workflow docs.
Changes:
- Deleted the
tools.github.bounded-queriesschema/docs section from the syntax reference. - Removed bounded-queries entries from the “designer mappings” and workflow creation guidance.
- Simplified cross-repository workflow instructions to only describe the unbounded/cross-repo-auth path.

| For cross-repository workflows, first determine whether the question is **finite and bounded**: | ||
|
|
||
| - If the agent needs to answer a finite, pre-approved question about a private repository (e.g. "does this repo have open critical issues?", "what is the latest release version?"): | ||
| - Use `tools.github.bounded-queries` with `private-repos` and `sandbox.agent.id: awf` (AWF v0.27.44+) | ||
| - This is the preferred approach — no raw source code is exposed and no cross-repo token is needed | ||
| - Select `runtime: sbx` only when experimental, capability-gated execution is intended. Each query gets a separate sbx VM; AWF fails closed during host preflight and never falls back to Docker or gVisor. | ||
| - If the answer is unbounded (e.g. arbitrary source-code extraction, full file contents), or if bounded queries are not appropriate: | ||
| - If the answer requires arbitrary source-code extraction, full file contents, or other unbounded access: | ||
| - enable the GitHub toolsets needed to read external repositories | ||
| - configure cross-repo authentication in `safe-outputs:` | ||
| - tell the agent to set `target-repo` |
