Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:

User-Agent
$ AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE/1.0

There is no operator to verify against. This name is what software calls itself when nobody gave it one.

§ II.

How to block AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE

Add these two lines to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. Well-behaved crawlers read it before they crawl, so the change applies from AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.

robots.txt
# Block AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE from the whole site
User-agent: AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE
Disallow: /

Or let it visit but keep it away from part of the site:

# Let it in, but keep it out of one room
User-agent: AI-CODING-CONTROL-PLANE
Allow: /
Disallow: /members/

Where it comes from

Scripts and scanners run from wherever their owners rent a server. These are the networks behind the visits on file:

No network data for these visits yet. The zoo looks networks up in a local database, which may still be downloading.

Networks and countries come from the visitor's IP address, looked up in a local copy of the DB-IP database. The addresses themselves are never stored.
