# KimiBot

Kimi says KimiBot crawls content potentially used to train Kimi's foundation models. Disallowing KimiBot signals that the content should not be used for model training. The page says each listed crawler is configured independently, and it shows Crawl-delay in seconds. This check does not apply Crawl-delay. It matches the whole token, so a group named Kimi does not match KimiBot, and it still reports the RFC 9309 decision.

- Operator: Kimi
- Kind: training
- robots.txt: disallow_is_opt_out. The vendor says disallowing this token opts that use out.
- HTTP user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko); compatible; KimiBot/1.0; +https://www.kimi.com/policies/kimi-crawlers The page prints this full string. The robots.txt examples use User-agent: KimiBot, not the full string. The string cites kimi.com, which redirected to this page. A group named Kimi does not match KimiBot.

## JSON

`curl -s https://whosthatbot.com/v1/crawlers/kimibot`

## Check this token

tools/call with name check_robots is the same check at https://whosthatbot.com/mcp. Send `Content-Type: application/json` and `Accept: application/json, text/event-stream`. The pasted file disallows KimiBot on `/docs` and allows `*`. The call does not fetch a host.

```
curl -s https://whosthatbot.com/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"check_robots","arguments":{"robots_txt":"User-agent: KimiBot\nDisallow: /\n\nUser-agent: *\nAllow: /\n","path":"/docs","ids":["kimibot"]}}}'
```

That call returns fetched_target false. This row is disallow via group KimiBot, rule Disallow: /.

Each card paraphrases the linked vendor page and was checked on source.retrieved. This is not legal advice. robots.txt is a request from the site owner. Botcard does not fetch third-party sites and does not suggest ways around a disallow rule.
