I work at a place that takes this all very seriously. No. Google search is available but monitored, skype/gitlab/bitbucket/etc are all blocked. Code formatting tools are blocked to the extent possible and people are instructed not to use them. Folks that slip up and get caught are usually written up the first time, after that they are terminated.

The only way to legitimately use tools like these from work are if they pass rigorous vendor assessment processes and rock solid contracts in place covered by nine figure E&O policies.

Do you work in a field that warrants this kind of stringent requirements or is the security team overzealous? Do these kind of rules extend to using third party libraries etc?

Both probably. Most of these rules have come as a result of regulatory action/audit findings. Efforts to dial these back repeatedly get stymied by people demonstrating the need for such checks.

Re: third party libraries, yes absolutely.
