Bot Access Control

Content Signals

Robots.txt answers "may you crawl". Content Signals answers the question it was never designed for: "may you use this for training, for live answers, for indexing".

Why it matters

Three lines let you say yes to being quoted in an answer and no to being trained on, in a form every crawler can read.

Pass criteria

robots.txt declares Content-Signal preferences covering ai-train, search and ai-input.

What the scanner records
Every request the check makes is recorded (URL, method, response status, relevant headers and a body preview) and shown under the check in your results.
