Cloudflare adds continuous trust scoring for Verified bots

Cloudflare says it is introducing a system to evaluate and report when Verified bot behavior deviates from doing no harm.

The system scores how consistently a bot respects robots.txt and responds to HTTP 429 signals, producing an explainable trust band over time.

Cloudflare says it already uses the system internally and plans to make it available to all customers, who can set the trust threshold for handling Verified bot traffic.
