What is Kimi-Agent?

Usually not. Kimi-Agent browses on behalf of a person trying to read, compare, or buy something on your site. Blocking it may prevent that person from completing the task and send them elsewhere. It does not affect traditional search rankings. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Kimi-Agent.

No. Kimi-Agent is not expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.

Possibly, if a user grants access. Kimi-Agent operates a real browser session, so when someone signs in through it, the agent can see anything available to that account. Without credentials, it can reach only what an anonymous visitor can.

Agent Analytics tracks Kimi-Agent visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Kimi-Agent". Look for browser-like sessions that move through pages faster or more methodically than a typical person. Because Kimi-Agent does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.

A user gave Kimi-Agent a task that your site may help complete, such as researching a product, comparing options, or filling out a form. It likely reached your site through links or search results, much like a person would.
