The agent could not access the target site directly but assembled a coherent explanation of pokemoncenter-online.com from third-party sources and blog guides. The site itself remained inaccessible (connection refused), forcing reliance on proxy documentation and intermediary shopping blogs rather than primary sources.

• ›The primary target domain was unreachable (ECONNREFUSED at step [1]), making direct verification impossible. The agent correctly pivoted to web search.
• ›Step [3] search results did not directly answer the query but surfaced three third-party guides (steps 7, 8) that contained specific pricing (540 yen flat fee, free over 6000 yen), shipping restrictions (Japan-only, proxy services required), and merchandise categories—the core of the final response.
• ›Step [5] (Bulbapedia fetch) provided structural context about Pokémon Center as a retail entity across regions but did not contain pokemoncenter-online.com-specific details; the agent correctly used it as scaffolding rather than a primary source for the Japanese site.
• ›Step [8] (Buyee blog) was the most content-bearing, explicitly explaining international access limitations, product detail pages, and proxy service workarounds. This third-party guide became the substantive foundation for the 'What's Different' and 'Limitations' sections.
• ›The agent disclosed uncertainty transparently (section on 'What I Couldn't Find'), acknowledging that UI details, return policies, membership programs, and stock levels could not be verified—a reasonable epistemic boundary given the site's inaccessibility.
