How this service works
PerplexityBot access decision fetches current public evidence from the supplied target and evaluates the documented criterion. It returns the observation, threshold, verdict, exact evidence source, limitations and a mode-specific action. The check is passive: no login attempt, payload injection, exploit, purchase, form submission or load test is performed.
Output
Returns a structured response containing: the observation (what was found on the target), the threshold used for evaluation, a pass/fail/uncertain verdict on PerplexityBot access, the exact evidence source (e.g. robots.txt URL or meta tag location), known limitations of the passive check, and a mode-specific action recommendation for remediation or confirmation.
Example use cases
Pre-launch AI crawler audit
“Before I launch my new site at https://newproduct.io, can you check if PerplexityBot is permitted to access it and tell me what the evidence shows?”
Diagnosing missing Perplexity indexing
“My site https://techreview.example.com isn't showing up in Perplexity AI results — can you check if PerplexityBot is actually allowed to crawl it and what's blocking it?”
Monitoring competitor bot access policy
“Can you evaluate whether PerplexityBot has access to https://competitor.com and compare it against a baseline I got last month?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agentreadiness.halowerk.com/v1/perplexitybot-access-decision?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a passive, read-only determination of whether PerplexityBot is permitted to access a specific public URL — no login, exploit, or active probing is performed. Prefer this over generic robots.txt parsers when you need a verdict with evidence sourcing, threshold context, and an actionable recommendation specifically scoped to PerplexityBot. Choose the sibling repair-plan endpoint if you already have a verdict and need remediation steps.
Side effects
- Target URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — check returns error or inconclusive verdict
- Domain has no robots.txt and no meta tags — evidence is absent, result may be uncertain
- Rate limiting or firewall on target blocks the passive fetch — limitation reported in response
- Malformed or ambiguous robots.txt leads to inconclusive verdict
- compare_url is inaccessible — comparison step skipped or returns partial result
