summary: >-
  WeaveAPI serves Content Signals in robots.txt on its marketing/documentation host. The declaration is
  the Cloudflare "Managed Content" block — WeaveAPI runs behind Cloudflare and has this feature enabled
  rather than having hand-authored the directives — but it is genuinely served from the provider's own
  origin at a stable, machine-readable path, and it is the only preference signal about AI use that
  WeaveAPI publishes anywhere.

content_signals:
  applies_to: "User-agent: *"
  directives:
    - signal: search
      value: 'yes'
      means: May collect content to build a search index and return hyperlinks and short excerpts.
    - signal: ai-train
      value: 'no'
      means: May NOT collect content for training or fine-tuning AI models.
    - signal: use
      value: reference
      means: AI systems may consume the content by reference.
  ai_input_declared: false
  ai_input_note: >-
    No ai-input signal is present, so RAG / grounding / real-time retrieval is neither granted nor
    restricted by Content Signal — the robots.txt preamble states this explicitly as the default.
  rights_reservation: >-
    The served preamble asserts that any restriction expressed via Content Signals is an express
    reservation of rights under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790 (Copyright in the DSM).

irony_note: >-
  Recorded as an observation, not a judgement: WeaveAPI sells access to OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek,
  Qwen, Kimi, GLM and MiniMax models, and simultaneously blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot and
  Google-Extended from its own site and declares ai-train=no over its own content.
