In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review rules for AI training crawlers and user-triggered or search crawlers, and to decide whether specific bots should be allowed or blocked.
Why use it?
It shows whether the site’s instructions allow or block different AI crawlers, helping clarify its data-collection and search-access policy.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-robots-ai scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

User-triggered / search crawlers (fetch on behalf of a live user or search index)

Blocking these removes you from AI search answers and citations.

Bot Name Owner Purpose
OAI-SearchBot OpenAI ChatGPT search index (not training)
ChatGPT-User OpenAI ChatGPT browsing (real-time, user-triggered)
PerplexityBot Perplexity AI search engine index
Perplexity-User Perplexity User-triggered fetch for Perplexity answers
anthropic-ai Anthropic Claude web fetch
Google-CloudVertexBot Google Vertex AI Agents — crawls on site owners' request
DuckAssistBot DuckDuckGo DuckAssist AI answers
MistralAI-User Mistral User-triggered fetch for Le Chat citations
Meta-ExternalFetcher Meta User-initiated Meta AI fetches

Important: Blocking training bots ≠ blocking AI search visibility. Blocking training crawlers only opts you out of model training. Blocking user-triggered / search crawlers removes your site from AI answers and citations (ChatGPT search, Perplexity, DuckAssist, etc.).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
