Judge's note · what slowed the agent most
The sandbox proxy's 403 at CONNECT for every zenrows.com host blocked docs, signup and the API alike; both access requests timed out, costing the whole run.

Judge reason

No ZenRows Fetch API call was ever transmitted. Saved evidence (evidence/blocker_network.txt, retry_log.txt) shows the sandbox credential proxy refusing CONNECT to api.zenrows.com, app.zenrows.com, www.zenrows.com, docs.zenrows.com and httpbin.io with 'HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden' (curl exit 56, status 000), while api.anthropic.com tunnels fine (404). evidence/response_plain.txt and response_jsrender.txt contain explicit 'NO RESPONSE OBTAINED' placeholders, not ZenRows bodies, so neither the plain nor the js_render=true 200 response, httpbin JSON echo, User-Agent values, nor the plain-vs-rendered comparison exist. result.json self-reports success:false/status blocked. Setup credit: curl worked locally, correct documented endpoints were targeted, run_zenrows.sh was written and syntax-checked with retry/backoff and key redaction, two benchmark-request network approvals were filed (both timed_out) and the API host was polled 6 times over ~2 minutes. No fabricated data.

Attempt record

  1. 6:03Asked a TPC admin to allow api.zenrows.comno approval within the window
  2. 13:14Blocked by a prerequisiteSandbox egress proxy denies TLS CONNECT to all *.zenrows.com hosts (403 at CONNECT, credential-independent); two network-access approval requests timed out, so no API key could be obtained or used.
