# AgentShield AI Defense > An open observatory measuring how AI crawlers and agents read the web. Measurement > is by observation of requests, never by asking a model what it knows. AI crawlers and agents are welcome on this site. Nothing here is cloaked: every client receives identical bytes for the same URL. See /robots.txt for the paths that ask not to be crawled; they serve ordinary content and are used to measure compliance rather than to trap anyone. ## Pages - [Home](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/): what this site measures and why self-report is excluded - [How it works](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/how-it-works): capture, immutability, versioned interpretation - [What we measure](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/what-we-measure): the measured variables - [Lab](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/lab): live observations, updated per request - [Methodology](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/lab/methodology): admissible evidence and known limits ## Glossary - [AI crawler](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/glossary/ai-crawler) - [Reality capture](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/glossary/reality-capture) - [Canary token](https://agentshieldaidefense.com/glossary/canary-token) ## Notes Reality marker: asd-pavifoto-mimino-cdc704 Published: 2026-07-25T10:35:25.584Z
