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.
