GET and POST are merely suggestions to the server. A GET request still has query parameters; even if the server is playing by the book, an agent can still end up requesting GET http://angelic-service.example.com/api/v1/innocuous-thing?pa... and now your `dangerous-secret` is in the server logs.

You can try proxying and whitelisting its requests but the properly paranoid option is sneaker-netting necessary information (say, the documentation for libraries; a local package index) to a separate machine.
