## What is KimiBot?

Collects content that may train Kimi foundation models.

## How to identify it

Look for the KimiBot identifier in a request’s User-Agent. This is a name match, not identity verification. Version strings may change.

## How to check identity

Match the source IP against the current Kimi-published list for this specific crawler, linked from its crawler policy.

## Access and robots.txt

Disallow KimiBot to signal that your content should not be used for foundation-model training. Set Kimi-SearchBot access independently.

Optional full-site opt-out; merge with existing rules only if intended. Not a security control.
