What does this token control?
Use GPTBot as the robots product token. Treat it separately from incidental browser/version text in a full User-Agent header. A token in a request does not establish the operator’s identity.
A policy example
User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: /
This requests exclusion from this training crawler, leaving search groups unchanged. Our search score does not penalize this choice.
Common mistakes
Blocking GPTBot does not block every ChatGPT interaction. Search and user-triggered retrieval have separate identities and behavior.
Test public evidence
Inspect the matched policy, then review your server and CDN controls. Our request identifies as AICrawlScoreBot and cannot establish treatment of verified operator infrastructure.
