What is Retool?
Retool is a low-code platform that enables developers to build internal tools, workflows, and AI-powered applications. The Retool crawler is an automated agent triggered by platform users to fetch data from external websites or APIs, allowing that information to be processed, displayed, or analyzed within a custom Retool application. It serves as a bridge between the open web and private business logic, facilitating tasks like data ingestion, content scraping for AI context, and automated reporting.
Identification
Retool/Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls websites specifically when a Retool user configures a 'REST API' or 'Web Scraper' resource within their application or workflow. It is designed to retrieve the content of a target URL so that the data can be parsed and utilized by the user's internal tools. You can verify the operator by checking the user-agent string against the official Retool documentation or by observing that the requests originate from IP ranges associated with Retool's cloud infrastructure.
Block or allow Retool
Add a Disallow rule for Retool/ in your robots.txt file. You can also block at the server level using your web server configuration or CDN firewall rules to filter requests matching the user-agent string.
# Block Retool from crawling your entire site User-agent: Retool/ Disallow: / # Allow Retool full access User-agent: Retool/ Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows Retool/. Verify requests are genuine by checking the user-agent string and referring to Retool's documentation.
