Editorial Policy and Tool Methodology
BotAccess Lab exists to help users complete a practical AI crawler access-control planning task. We focus on browser-based utilities, plain-language explanations, and downloadable or copyable outputs.
How pages are created
Pages are written around a concrete workflow: what the user is trying to decide, what information is needed, what the tool can generate, and what should be checked manually. We avoid publishing empty keyword pages, fake reviews, fake ratings, or merchant information that does not match the site.
How tools should be used
Use generated rules as a starting point, then compare them with server logs, crawler documentation, noindex rules, and your content licensing strategy. Robots.txt and llms.txt communicate crawler preferences and site context; they are not authentication, paywall enforcement, or a security boundary. Users remain responsible for reviewing outputs before using them in production, business, legal, compliance, publishing, or upload workflows.
Privacy and data handling
The core tools are designed to run in the browser where practical. We do not ask users to create an account for the free workflow, and trust pages explain contact, logging, advertising, and cookie behavior.
Sources and update process
When a page references external rules, policies, platform behavior, or technical standards, it should be checked against primary or widely recognized documentation. Useful references for this site include:
Corrections
If a page is unclear, outdated, or broken, users can contact us at guos4727@gmail.com. We prioritize fixes that affect user safety, tool accuracy, navigation, or privacy expectations.
