- respects_robots
- no
- verify
- no stable user-agent and no verifiable identity layer; Comet runs inside the user's browser session and presents like ordinary Chromium traffic. Distinct from PerplexityBot/Perplexity-User (which are cloud bots verifiable by IP range + perplexity.ai in the UA).
- notes
- Perplexity's Comet is a Chromium-based browser fork that runs locally and performs multi-tab agentic actions inside the user's session. Unlike Perplexity's cloud crawlers, it has no verifiable identity layer at the network level — included here per the agentic-browser taxonomy, verifiable by IP/signature only.

- block_vs_allow_recommendation
- conditional — acts inside a real user's browser session with no verifiable identity layer; it is not a bulk crawler and cannot be reliably blocked by robots.txt or UA. Manage via session-level / bot-management controls if agent actions are a concern.
