✅ The Vercel build that failed on an earlier revision of this PR passes |
The context filters page covered only deepSearch.contextFilters. It now documents experimentalFeatures.agents.contextFilters, how the two keys are combined, what Agentic Batch Changes does with the rules, and why a coding agent step refuses to run in a repository that a rule excludes or that contains an excluded file. It also corrects the pattern syntax section: only repository names match case-insensitively; file paths are compiled verbatim.

Filters apply to the agent's repository tools, not to executor checkouts: a run step can read excluded files. Only repository-only rules drop agent-managed workspaces, a blocked execution never starts its run steps, exclude needs at least one rule, and the verification recipe uses a files-only rule since a repository-only rule drops the workspace before anything executes.

I think we need to provide a bit more detail on how to configure from the ABC side of the docs, but other than that looks good

| ### Context filters | ||
|
|
||
| Administrators can exclude repositories and files from the agent's Sourcegraph tools with [context filters](/context-filters), configured under `experimentalFeatures.agents.contextFilters`. Excluded content is invisible to the agent's research and to the Sourcegraph MCP tools in its coding agent steps, and a repository excluded as a whole is dropped from the agent's workspaces. Because a coding agent step works on a full checkout, it [does not run at all](/context-filters#coding-agent-steps) in a repository that a rule excludes or that contains an excluded file. Filters do not remove files from the checkout that `run` steps execute on. |

Where is this? Site config json?

Maybe link to the ## Configuring context filters section of contex-filters

The link behind context filters brings you to this page. I feel like that's everything I'd need to configure it. Is there anything you're missing?
