What it is

Fetches a single page at the moment a user or a ChatGPT agent asks for it — a pasted link, a browsing step, an Operator task. One human intent, one request. OpenAI states these fetches are not used for training.

What blocking it costs you

ChatGPT cannot open your pages when a user explicitly asks it to. The user sees a fetch failure. This is usually the last bot anyone means to block.

curl -s 'https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/tools/verification-methods?crawler=chatgpt-user&s=client-dossiers'

/tools/verification-methods?crawler=chatgpt-user
How do I prove a request really is ChatGPT-User? The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.
/tools/verify-crawler?ip=104.208.184.192&ua=ChatGPT-User
Is 104.208.184.192 really ChatGPT-User? That address checked against every prefix this host mirrors. 104.208.184.192 is the first address of 104.208.184.192/28, one of the ranges listed on this page — so the link is a worked example that returns a match. Swap in an address from your own log.

Every parameter above is a value the endpoint reads, not an address it visits: nothing is fetched on your behalf. Called without any parameter, each endpoint returns its own specification instead of an error. All of them.
