Should you block amazon-kendra?

There is little to gain. Amazon does not document amazon-kendra, so a rule naming it controls none of its documented crawlers. Write rules for Amzn-SearchBot, Amzn-User, Amazonbot and bedrockbot instead.

What blocking each Amazon bot does
Amazon botJobIf you block it
amazon-kendraThis pageSearchA hit usually reflects a configured enterprise search connector, not public web discovery.
Amzn-SearchBotSearchAllowing it makes your content eligible to appear in Amazon search experiences such as Alexa. Amazon says it does not crawl content for generative AI model training.
Amzn-UserUser fetchBlocking it can stop Amazon assistants from reading your page when a customer asks about it directly.
AmazonbotOtherBlocking it limits Amazon’s general product-improvement and potential AI training crawl path. Amazon now uses separate Amzn-SearchBot and Amzn-User agents for search and live user requests.
bedrockbotOtherA hit usually means your URL was selected for a Bedrock application data source, not a broad Amazon crawl.
robots.txt
User-agent: amazon-kendra
Disallow: /

Asks amazon-kendra not to crawl any page. Other Amazon bots are unaffected. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

Whether to allow amazon-kendra is a policy call. Either way, check which AI platforms actually send you human visitors before assuming crawl volume equals value.

Spot it in your logs.

Match the name, then check where the request came from. Anyone can copy a user-agent.

    Match the name

    Search your server or CDN log for amazon-kendra, case-insensitive. A match is a clue, not proof.

  2. 2

    Check the source

    Amazon publishes no IP ranges, reverse DNS or signatures for amazon-kendra in the sources here, so it cannot be verified. Treat matches as unconfirmed.

Serve the content in HTML

The cited operator material does not verify JavaScript rendering. Serve useful HTML before client-side JavaScript where possible.
