If the session lacks shell, curl, web fetch, or filesystem read, the correct response is to state the gap and route the task elsewhere — not to synthesise a confident answer that 'looks like' what the user asked for. Writing a plausible function with a plausible file path and line number is worse than failing, because it passes any review that isn't cross-checked against the real source and only breaks when someone tries to use it.
