Centinel AnalyticaUrlDownloadabilityBot
UrlDownloadabilityBot is an automated fetcher whose user agent points to https://tinyurl.com/, the URL shortening service operated by TinyURL LLC. The name indicates it requests a destination URL to check whether the page behind a shortened link is still reachable and can be downloaded, but TinyURL does not document this bot on its website, in its help pages, or in its robots.txt, so the purpose is inferred from the user agent name rather than confirmed by the operator. TinyURL publishes no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames for it, and it does not appear in the common public bot catalogues, so requests carrying this user agent cannot be verified as genuinely originating from TinyURL.

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