A host allow and a kit HTTP rule on api.github.com Two columns. On the left, the default-code-and-containers group of the balanced preset allows github.com:443 and every subdomain, so a POST to api.github.com /repos/o/r/issues carrying data in its body is allowed, because a host rule reads host and port only. On the right, a network-policy@2 deny entry with hosts api.github.com and methods DELETE blocks DELETE /repos/o/r while the same POST still passes, because deny wins only where the method matches.
