I wish blockers would distinguish between crawlers that index, and agentic crawlers serving an active user's request. npm blocking Claude Code is irritating

Agentic crawlers are worse. I run a primary source site and the ai "thinking" user agents will hit your site 1000+ times in a minute at any time of the day
