CRAWLER ACCESS
Who can fetch your pages?
Access rules and downstream-use preferences are separate layers. This table interprets explicit user-agent groups and the wildcard fallback.
POLICY BUILDER
Generate a clear default.
Choose the outcomes you want. The generated block keeps standard crawl instructions and Content-Signal preferences readable.
Access is not permission
Allow and Disallow determine crawler access. Content-Signal expresses preferences for how accessed content may be used.
Signals are voluntary
A declaration is not technical enforcement. Automated systems may ignore it, so use explicit crawler rules where access itself matters.
SEO needs search access
Blocking search crawlers can remove pages from organic results. Review Googlebot separately from AI training crawlers.
PURPOSE & METHODOLOGY
A focused tool, with the context to use it well
CrawlerPolicy was created to analyze and generate robots.txt and Content-Signal policies for AI crawlers. It is intended for publishers deciding how search, AI training, and AI input crawlers may use their content. The tool is free, requires no account, and is paired with original explanations so you can understand the result rather than copy an unexplained output.
How to use the result
Start with a sample or a non-sensitive copy of your data, run the check, and review every finding before changing a production project. Crawler controls are explained with their practical limits. The site avoids promising that a robots directive is legal enforcement and encourages publishers to combine policy, licensing, and monitoring. Specifications and software evolve, so confirm high-impact decisions against the linked primary documentation.
Privacy and limitations
robots.txt policy text is processed in your browser wherever the tool page states that local processing is used. Avoid entering passwords, access tokens, personal data, or confidential material. Automated output may be incomplete because it cannot know your entire deployment, threat model, or organizational policy.
Independent and transparent
This is an independent developer resource, not an official certification service. Source code and issue tracking are available on GitHub. Read more about the project, review the privacy policy, or report an error.
