Scope and interpretation

Robots policy is only one access layer

The tool applies longest matching allow or disallow rules for named agents and shows the exact effective group. It does not impersonate bots, bypass a WAF, verify bot identity, or predict a citation.

Quick-check access is tied to the email address you provide. Submitted page details are used only to complete the requested check and are not added to marketing profiles or model-training data.

Common questions

Robots.txt and AI Crawler Access Checker FAQ

Does allowed mean an AI system will cite the page?

No. It only means the tested robots rules do not prohibit that named crawler from the path.

Can a crawler still be blocked when robots.txt allows it?

Yes. A CDN, WAF, authentication layer, JavaScript challenge, server error, or network policy can still prevent access.

Are GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot the same control?

No. They represent different policy purposes. Search and citation access should be reviewed separately from model-training controls.
