MistralAI-User

User-initiated fetch when Le Chat users open links.

Should you block it?

Safe to allow

MistralAI-User fetches a page in real time when a Mistral user opens a link to your site inside a conversation. Blocking it breaks that click-through experience (users hit an error), but it does not affect indexing, citations or training.

Mistral states robots.txt may not apply to this user-triggered fetch, so a Disallow here is not a guarantee of blocked access.
