Browsing agent from Microsoft

Browse with Copilot (formerly Copilot Actions)

In short

Browse with Copilot (formerly Copilot Actions) is Microsoft's browsing agent. Browse with Copilot has no robots.txt token, so robots.txt cannot address it and the crawl cannot measure a block rate. The operator publishes nothing a site can check. Browse with Copilot has no operator bot documentation, checked 2026-11-04. Runs in the current window with the profile's cookies.

Allow and refuse lines

This agent has no robots.txt token, so there are no lines to copy. Without a token, a published list or a signature, a site owner cannot tell it from an ordinary visitor by request alone.

Refusing or allowing in robots.txt states a preference. For this row the operator or its documentation says robots.txt may not govern the fetch, so enforcement belongs in your WAF.
