Use the Search generative AI setting in Search Console only to take a property out of AI Overviews and AI Mode

This property-level setting (include, exclude or inherit from parent) controls AI Overviews, AI Mode and generative AI features in Discover without affecting web rankings. Excluding removes both links to the site and the use of its content for grounding, so the site gets no traffic or impressions from those features; include is the default and changes generally apply within one to two days.

Leave most properties on include or inherit. If a business decision requires exclusion, set it on a child property such as a folder first and measure the effect. The setting lives in Search Console, not in code, so record it in the launch checklist. Use nosnippet only if you also want out of regular snippets.

Regensbot walks you through the check in Search Console, collects the screenshot or export and tracks when the attestation expires. Attested is never shown as pass.

This setting or report lives in a Search Console screen that no API exposes, so a person checks it.

You verify the site by a DNS TXT record, a meta tag or a file. Regensbot then keeps a checklist item for this requirement, with a state, a guide, an evidence upload and reminders.
