Making a GET Request in Agent Builder – Do I Need Zapier?

Oct '25 (edited) • General

I’m trying to confirm something about how Agent Builder handles outbound HTTP requests.

If I want to make a simple GET request from within the Agent Builder, do I have to route it through “Webhooks by Zapier: GET”, or is there a more direct / native node for making HTTPS requests?

Example use case: I’d like the agent to query the DNS-over-HTTPS API at dns.google (or some other DNS lookup tool)

Should I create a Webhooks by Zapier GET MCP for that, or is there some workaround to make this call directly inside the agent with some built-in “Web Request”? I dont think thats possible but maybe theres some hack that I havent discovered yet.

Thoughts?
