About CledaraSaaSManagementAgent

Cledara’s agent automates customer-approved SaaS admin tasks, including invoice collection and user management.

AI assistants fetch pages on demand when a user asks a chatbot or an agent to read, summarise or act on a URL. Each request is tied to a person, but the visit carries no ad impressions or analytics. Decide per agent whether the value is worth the load.

CledaraSaaSManagementAgent user agent

CledaraSaaSManagementAgent identifies itself with this user agent string:

  • CledaraBot/1.0

Anyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.

How to block CledaraSaaSManagementAgent in robots.txt

We have not confirmed whether CledaraSaaSManagementAgent follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.

Things to know

  • Each host needs its own file. Rules on www.example.com do not apply to shop.example.com.
  • A crawler obeys only the most specific group that names it. Once you add a User-agent: CledaraBot group, CledaraSaaSManagementAgent ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.
  • The user agent name is not case sensitive. We take CledaraBot from CledaraSaaSManagementAgent's user agent; check Cledara's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.
  • Crawlers cache robots.txt, so changes can take up to a day to apply. Disallow stops crawling but does not remove pages already collected or indexed.

Limits of robots.txt

  1. CledaraSaaSManagementAgent may not follow the rule. robots.txt is a request that nothing enforces, and we have not confirmed that CledaraSaaSManagementAgent follows it. Check your logs after adding a rule.
  2. The user agent could be fake. robots.txt matches the name a request claims. Anyone can send CledaraSaaSManagementAgent's user agent, and a scraper using it is not bound by Cledara's robots.txt policy. Only checking the source network tells a real CledaraSaaSManagementAgent from a fake one.

Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
