Kangaroo Bot

Scrapes site content into datasets used to train the Kangaroo LLM.

Kangaroo Bot is operated by Kangaroo LLM and classified here as model training. These agents collect text and images that may end up in a training corpus. Disallowing one withholds new content from the next model. It does not withdraw anything collected before the disallow, and it does not remove the site from any answer engine.

Disallowing kangaroo bot withholds content crawled from that point on from Kangaroo LLM's training data. It does not withdraw pages collected in earlier crawls, it does not reach copies already sitting in third-party datasets, and it does not remove the site from any answer surface.

Kangaroo LLM runs no other agent in this registry.

Does blocking Kangaroo Bot remove me from the Kangaroo LLM?

No, not by itself. Kangaroo Bot collects content for training, not for the index that answers questions. Kangaroo LLM operates no separate answer crawler in this registry, so there is no answer surface to lose here. Content collected before the disallow is not withdrawn.

How do I verify Kangaroo Bot requests are genuine?

Kangaroo LLM publishes neither reverse DNS names nor address ranges for Kangaroo Bot, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be authenticated. The string is trivially spoofed and is routinely reused by unrelated scrapers. Treat it as a hint, rate-limit by source address, and do not grant it access you would not grant an anonymous client.

See whether your robots.txt admits Kangaroo Bot today, and whether your edge agrees with it.
