Browsing agent from xAI
Grok Bot (agent)
In short
Grok Bot (agent) is xAI's browsing agent. Grok Bot 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. Grok Bot has no operator bot documentation, checked 2026-11-04. Verisoul reports Grok Bot stopped signing requests in mid-October 2026 and uses the user's IP.

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.
