Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From CaliberBot?
CaliberBot usually performs comprehensive, link-following crawls rather than spot checks. Visit frequency may rise while a customer actively monitors your site or a related market.
Does CaliberBot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
CaliberBot is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether CaliberBot respects it.
Is CaliberBot Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. CaliberBot is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking CaliberBot Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. CaliberBot's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does CaliberBot Access Private Content?
No. CaliberBot can reach only public pages, and authentication prevents it from accessing private content.
How Can I Verify a Request From CaliberBot?
Agent Analytics tracks CaliberBot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "CaliberBot". Look for comprehensive site crawls that follow internal links. Because CaliberBot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is CaliberBot Different From Other Conductor Agents?
Conductor operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
