Recommend a per-bot policy based on observed access-log behaviour. Returns rationale and ready-to-paste robots.txt + firewall snippets.
AI agents call suggest_bot_policy to retrieve information from Mcp Bot Crawler without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool analyzes existing access-log data and returns recommendations plus configuration snippets as text output. It does not apply, write, or enforce any policy itself — it only suggests and returns ready-to-paste content for the user to act on manually. This is purely a read/advisory operation with no side effects.
From the tool's definition 'Recommend a per-bot policy based on observed access-log behaviour. Returns rationale and ready-to-paste robots.txt + firewall snippets.'

Recommend a per-bot policy based on observed access-log behaviour. Returns rationale and ready-to-paste robots.txt + firewall snippets. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Bot Crawler MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Bot Crawler MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for suggest_bot_policy: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Bot Crawler. Nothing to install.
suggest_bot_policy is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the suggest_bot_policy rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for suggest_bot_policy. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
