## Block MistralAI-User from your whole site

`robots.txt`

```
User-agent: MistralAI-User
Disallow: /

## Allow it, but keep private paths out

`robots.txt`

```
User-agent: MistralAI-User
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/

This bot fetches pages for a person, or for an agent acting on one's behalf. Several operators say robots.txt may not apply to such requests, so check the line above and enforce at your firewall if it matters.
