What it is

The crawler behind Cloudflare's AI Search / AutoRAG, which indexes a website into a retrieval index for an application. Cloudflare's own documentation warns that a bot-blocking rule on your zone will also stop this crawler and tells you to allow-list it.

What blocking it costs you

Applications built on Cloudflare AI Search cannot retrieve your pages. If you are the one building the index over your own site, blocking it breaks your own product.

  How do I prove a request really is Cloudflare-AutoRAG? The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.

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.
