Crawler transparency
KI-Console-Bot
KI-Console-Bot is the crawler used for user-requested one-time AI readiness diagnostics.
What the bot fetches
- robots.txt to understand crawler rules and opt-outs.
- sitemap.xml when it is listed in robots.txt or available at the standard location.
- llms.txt when it is available at the website root.
- The homepage and only a few public pages at most for the submitted diagnostic.
Why we fetch it
A visitor or account owner submits a domain and asks KI-Console to run a one-time technical AI readiness diagnostic. The result is cached for public anonymous scans so the same site is not fetched repeatedly.
Identification
Requests identify themselves with this user-agent string:
KI-Console-Bot/1.0 (+https://ki-console.com/bot)
Rate limits
Anonymous public scans are cached for 24 hours per site. A live public scan is limited by IP quota and by the existing per-domain free-scan cooldown.
Opt out
To block public third-party KI-Console scans, add this group to your robots.txt. Owner-verified account scans are treated as authorized by the website owner.
