anthropic-ai
An older Anthropic token that predates the current ClaudeBot naming. Sites still declare it in robots.txt as a belt-and-braces training opt-out, and it occasionally appears in logs from older tooling. Treat it as a legacy alias of the ClaudeBot family.

A user agent is a claim, not a proof: any client can send any name. Where an operator publishes IP ranges, a reverse lookup is the only way to tell a real visit from an impersonation.
