Should I Block GoogleAgent-Mariner?

Probably not. AI agents visit websites to complete tasks for human users, so blocking them will effectively block those users from being productive. This could lead to negative sentiment about your website. Not blocking AI agents will allow more human users to use your website as they choose.

How Do I Block GoogleAgent-Mariner?

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Edits Are Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. Instead, serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new agents automatically.
Set Up Automatic Robots.txt

You can block GoogleAgent-Mariner or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
