# Use Firecrawl Only as a Fallback

firecrawl-fallback-only · version 0.1.2

Advisory — Advisory only. It is skill text, and nothing stops a violation. Chock adds friction. It is not a security boundary. 

In a git repo: in agent (The agent's hooks check this once chock sync sets them up. If the hook crashes, the action goes through.)



## What it does

Trigger: web research where a direct fetch fails, is blocked, or needs JS rendering. avoid: reaching for the Firecrawl connector as the default fetch path.
