Anthropic — Uncertain

All crawlers · Agent Accessibility Index

Purpose not established

This token is tracked because sites still act on it, not because its purpose is known with confidence.

Purpose: Uncertain. Purpose not established. The token is named and blocked widely enough to track, but we cannot say with confidence what it is for — so the index counts it without claiming to know.

Named in many robots.txt files and blocked by 84 panel sites, but observed traffic appears minimal, so it may be superseded by the current tokens. Retained because sites clearly still act on it.

8.14%

of the panel names this token in robots.txt and disallows it, for the week of 2026-10-05.
