Operator: Any way to block it from a site? Does it obey robots.txt?

Will OpenAI will provide any tools to block Operator from interacting with a given website?

For example: Will it obey robots.txt? If not, why not?

I see that it’s using an ordinary chrome browser (user agent is: “Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.0.0 Safari/537.36”), and coming from an Azure IP range. Will Operator send any other specific signals that wuld allow sites to prevent use of the tool on their site, or will we just have to employ anti-bot detectors?

They most likely will use an identifiable user agent, IP range, and respect robots.txt

Hopefully the docs will be updated but keep an eye on this
