Should I Block Operator?

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 Operator?

You can block Operator 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.
