Coverage
Ask — the EdgeWorker returns 403 on
block and forwards everything else, so
an ask gate is allowed. Write the rule as Block if you need a hard stop.
Use it when you serve through Akamai and can map the TrustGuard endpoint
behind your property in Property Manager. Not when you cannot: EdgeWorkers
sub-requests only reach Akamai-served hostnames, and everything else fails with a
400.
Limits. The 4-second wall-time budget covers the guard call and the origin
sub-request — tune the sub-request timeout against real latency and decide
whether it fails open or closed. Input only, no redaction.
