  1. Added: ZDR enforcement only applies to provider routing for inference requests. It does not apply to plugins and tools you choose to enable, such as web search . These may be operated by third-party services with their own data retention policies. Review the data policies of any plugins or tools you enable if you have strict data retention requirements. One tool-level rule applies: when ZDR is enforced in your account privacy settings or a guardrail, the Web Search and Web Fetch server tools and the Web Search plugin reject the Firecrawl engine. See Privacy and regional availability for each server tool's execution path and backend policy.
  2. Removed: ZDR enforcement only applies to provider routing for inference requests. It does not apply to plugins and tools you choose to enable, such as web search . These may be operated by third-party services with their own data retention policies. Review the data policies of any plugins or tools you enable if you have strict data retention requirements.
