Evidence notes
- Google Search Console is already surfacing this page for web-access skill queries, making it the strongest early SEO validation target.
- The Skill is best validated on tasks where freshness matters: competitor research, pricing checks, product docs, and source-backed summaries.
- Evidence level should move from B to A only after SkillFit collects public output samples and repeatable test results.
Safety notes
- Live web pages change, so important claims should include source links and a retrieval date.
- Do not enter secrets, private customer data, or paid-account information unless the runtime and permissions are trusted.
- For high-stakes topics, use web-access to gather sources, then require human review before acting.

Common questions about web-access
When should I avoid web-access?
Avoid it when the task is offline, when browsing private accounts would expose sensitive data, or when a high-stakes answer needs expert review.
How do I test web-access quickly?
Give it a current research task, require source links, ask it to state uncertainty, then verify whether the links and recommendation match.
