User-agent: MistralAI-Index
Disallow: /Asks MistralAI-Index not to crawl any page. Other Mistral AI bots are unaffected. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.
Allowing MistralAI-Index only creates the possibility of retrieval. To find out whether your pages are selected, measure which answer engines actually cite your pages using a stable query set.
