The agent could not access fedex.com due to repeated permission/system-down errors across all attempted pages, forcing reliance on general knowledge and third-party search results to construct an answer. The site was not navigable for this task.

• ›All three fedex.com pages attempted (homepage, /en-us/shipping.html, /en-us/pricing.html) returned identical error pages with conflicting messages ('system down' vs. 'no permission'), blocking access to any official FedEx service descriptions, pricing, or account information.
• ›The agent's substantive answer about FedEx's services, customers, pricing layers, and competitive position came entirely from model memory, not from fetched site content — a critical gap for a task that explicitly asked the agent to 'read the site.'
• ›The search step [6] supplied only third-party comparison data (surcharge figures, rate increases), not FedEx's own rate tables, service guides, or account types, leaving core task requirements unmet.
• ›The agent acknowledged the fundamental incompleteness ('could not read fedex.com') and clearly flagged third-party sources as unverified, meeting the transparency bar but not the task requirement.
• ›No well-known artifact probes (robots.txt, sitemap, .json endpoints) were fetched or attempted, despite repeated access failures — suggesting the agent did not test alternative routes to discovery.
