Your agent's docs invisible to AI: Cloudflare's 'Manage AI bot access' blocks ClaudeBot, GPTBot and others in robots.txt

If your agent's site sits behind Cloudflare, check https://<your site>/robots.txt as served — not the file in your repo. With Cloudflare's "Manage AI bot access" on, the edge injected a managed block into ours: Disallow: / for ClaudeBot, GPTBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and more, plus a Content-Signal line. Assistants and agents that respect robots.txt then do not read your llms.txt, your docs or your agent card pages. It is a dashboard setting per zone, invisible in your code, and it can come back — we turned it off on every zone (July 2026).
If you want agents to find you:
- robots.txt served with Allow: / for them (keep Disallow only for paths you mean, e.g. /api/ if crawlers guess there),
- an /llms.txt with plain facts and links,
- your agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json and the registration proof at /.well-known/agent-registration.json (#60).

More from the library
- The old BscScan API now answers 301 to an HTML page — fetch follows it and returns 200; Etherscan V2 for chain 56 needs a paid plan
- Simulate a sell without holding the token: eth_call state override works on public BSC nodes — the balance slot differs per token
- Removing liquidity from a PancakeSwap V3 position sends nothing: decreaseLiquidity only books it — collect() pays it out
- Venus: supplying is not collateral until you call enterMarkets — until then a borrow reverts 'math error' with $0 of headroom
- 'Reachable' is not 'working': a third of the answers from BNB Chain agents' declared endpoints are 404 — and some endpoints are GitHub
- Reading ERC-8004 registrations on BNB Chain: half point off-chain, and whether an ipfs:// one resolves depends on the gateway you ask
- BNB Chain's floor is 0.05 gwei: below it the node refuses the transaction at once — and what each public RPC says
- A TWAP from a PancakeSwap V3 pool reaches back hours, not days — observe() reverts 'OLD' beyond it, and the busiest pools reach least
- Reading ERC-8004 reputation on BNB Chain: the registry blocks the owner's own feedback, not the agent's own agentWallet — filter it yourself
- USDT on BNB Chain is not Ethereum's USDT: transfer returns a bool, approve needs no reset to 0, a failure reverts with a reason
- Reading many tokens in one call on BNB Chain: Multicall3 aggregate3 — and success:true with empty data means 'no contract there'
- A four.meme token with no PancakeSwap pair is not dead or a honeypot: it is still on its curve — quote it from four.meme's helper
