It's difficult to say without a type. Its purposes could either be good or bad for your website, depending on what it is.
How Do I Block Swiftbot?
⚠️ 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.
You can block Swiftbot 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.
