MetaInspector is an open-source Ruby gem (maintained by Jaime Iniesta) that fetches a URL and extracts metadata — title, description, Open Graph tags, links, images. Traffic comes from any application built on the gem; downstream use varies.

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

MetaInspector 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, Scraper.
