What Google-Gemini-CLI does

Google's Gemini CLI, a coding agent in the terminal, fetching pages for a developer.

As an autonomous agent, it uses a website like a person would, clicking, typing and filling in forms to finish a task for someone. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.

Should you allow it?

Make your journeys work for it. Many browser agents look like an ordinary browser, so you can't reliably block them by name; test whether they can finish your key tasks instead. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.

How to allow or block Google-Gemini-CLI

Google-Gemini-CLI reads the Google-Gemini-CLI group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:

User-agent: Google-Gemini-CLI
Disallow: /

To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:

User-agent: Google-Gemini-CLI
Allow: /

Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.

How to tell if it's really Google-Gemini-CLI

Our registry doesn't verify Google-Gemini-CLI against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Google's documentation for how to verify it.
