MetamodeAuditBot

MetamodeAuditBot is the fetcher behind AI Audit by Metamode, a free website audit tool. It is not a crawler: it only fetches a page when a person submits that site's URL for an audit, and it never follows links to discover new pages.

What it requests.One audit triggers a single fetch of the submitted page, up to four of that page's own stylesheets, and lightweight probes of robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt — roughly a dozen requests in total, once per site per day at most (results are cached). Nothing is stored beyond the audit result, and nothing is used to train models.

How it identifies itself. Every request carries this user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MetamodeAuditBot/1.0; +https://aiaudit.metamode.co/bot)

Requests are also cryptographically signed following the IETF Web Bot Auth draft (HTTP message signatures, RFC 9421, Ed25519). The public key is published at https://aiaudit.metamode.co/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory, so firewalls and site owners can verify that a request claiming to be MetamodeAuditBot really came from us.

Opting out.Audits are almost always requested by the site's own team, but if you don't want your site audited, block the MetamodeAuditBot user agent at your server or firewall, or write to hello@metamode.co and we'll exclude it.
