# AgentReadyBot

> On-demand AI-readiness scanner: when someone requests a report it reads up to 25 pages plus robots.txt and the homepage, compares what humans and machines get, and sends test requests with seven AI crawler names to see whether the site blocks them.

## Dossier

- Kind: SEO & backlink crawlers
- Operator: Robots Drinking Tea LLC (https://agentreadybot.com/)
- Documentation: https://agentreadybot.com/bot
- robots.txt tokens: AgentReadyBot
- Feeds: research
- Respects robots.txt: Partly, per its documentation. Docs: honours robots.txt for pages it reads but always fetches /robots.txt and the homepage; documented UA is 'AgentReadyBot/1.0 (+https://agentreadybot.com/bot)', while ours arrived in a Mozilla/5.0 compatible wrapper.
- Verification: No published method
- Labels matched in our logs: agentreadybot

## Why it matters to New Runtime (our interpretation)

Someone ran an agent-readiness audit on our site; its crawler-name probes come from its own IP, not from the real AI crawlers.

## Observed behaviour

- Baseline 2026-10-23 (93-day window): 10 requests on 1 days; first seen 2026-10-04, last seen 2026-10-04; Dormant.
- Live numbers: https://newruntime.com/bot-traffic-history.json and https://newruntime.com/crawler-journeys.json

Identity: A family name is what a client claims in its user agent. It is verified only when its request came from the operator's published IP ranges or passed forward-confirmed reverse DNS, as reported per family in /crawler-journeys.json. Anyone can claim any name.
