 The region can be a single region such as `us-east5`, the `eu` or `us` multi-region, or `global`. The app routes inference to a different endpoint host for multi-regions and `global`; if you allowlist egress by hostname, see the [inference provider egress hosts](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry#inference-provider).
