AI Crawler Robots Policy Drift Monitor

Watch how a site communicates access rules to AI crawlers. The workflow fetches robots.txt and a public crawler policy page in parallel, fingerprints the robots file, and creates a change record only when the policy drifts.

What this workflow does

  1. CrawlerPolicySchedule starts the check twice a day
  2. FetchRobotsPolicy retrieves robots.txt
  3. ReadCrawlerPolicyPage extracts the public policy page
  4. MergeCrawlerPolicySources waits for both sources
  5. FingerprintRobotsPolicy creates the current policy fingerprint
  6. LoadPriorRobotsFingerprint reads the previous value from Redis
  7. RobotsPolicyChangedGate detects drift
  8. ExplainCrawlerPolicyChange summarizes affected AI crawler directives and open questions
  9. CreateCrawlerPolicyRecord writes a Notion review page before Redis is updated

Use cases

  • AI crawler robots.txt monitoring
  • GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot policy reviews
  • Publisher AI training and search access governance
  • SEO change management for crawler directives

Setup

Replace the sample domain and policy page with URLs you control. Connect Redis, an LLM credential, and Notion. Run once to seed the fingerprint. Review the actual robots file and legal policy before changing crawler access.
