# What AXRushAgent is

> If you found this in your access logs, it was us. AXRushAgent is an agent we send to a website on behalf of the person who owns it, to find out whether an AI agent could complete a real task there. It arrives only on sites somebody added to AX Rush and asked us to watch.

### It only reads

Every request is an HTTP GET. It cannot submit a form, sign in, add anything to a cart, or buy anything, because it holds no tool that can. A task that says "reach the checkout" ends at the checkout page's URL.

### It obeys robots.txt

It reads your robots.txt before its first page and honours the rules for its own name, falling back to the wildcard group. A path you disallow is never requested, and the owner's report says the task was blocked and why.

### It is small and slow on purpose

A run is capped at a dozen pages and under a minute, one request at a time per host, with a pause between them. Several samples of the same task share one cache, so five measurements usually cost your server one or two requests.

## How to stop it

Add this to your robots.txt. It takes effect on the next run, and no further page is requested.

```
User-agent: AXRushAgent
Disallow: /
```

If you are the site's owner and you would rather it stopped entirely, removing the site from AX Rush ends it immediately.

## Anything else

Write to info@axrush.com with the timestamps from your logs and we will tell you exactly which run they belong to.
