Centinel AnalyticaMentatNews
MentatNews is the feed fetcher behind a Spanish language news reader at news.mentat.com.mx, operated by Mentat. It retrieves RSS and Atom feeds selected by individual subscribers and extracts the full article body with Trafilatura so it can be read inside the app, and the product also passes fetched articles to a language model to group duplicate stories and produce summaries on request. The operator publishes no crawler documentation, no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames.

How Centinel checks it
- User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.
MentatNews 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, Feed Reader.
