What it is

Exa's crawler. It discovers and indexes public pages so they can be retrieved and cited through Exa's search API, which is one of the common retrieval backends behind agent frameworks.

What blocking it costs you

Agents built on Exa's API stop finding you. Exa publishes no statement about robots.txt compliance, so treat the rule as a request.
