Centinel AnalyticaGoGuidesCrawler
GoGuidesCrawler is the crawler for GoGuides, a search and trust-record service operated by GoGuides, LLC. It fetches publicly accessible pages to build the GoGuides search index and to generate public trust records, domain history, verification context and freshness signals, and the operator FAQ states that GoGuides is a search engine with its own index rather than an AI answer engine or an AI training data collector. The operator documents a second agent, GoGuidesDiscoveryBot, which performs preflight checks before a candidate homepage enters the crawl queue, and states that both are controlled separately through robots.txt. The operator publishes no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames for verification, and the crawler source address listed by Udger is a Charter Communications residential IP that also serves goguides.com.

How Centinel checks it
- User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.
GoGuidesCrawler publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.
Allowing or blocking it
The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Search Engine.
