Identification

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

User-Agent
$ MySimpleCmdBot/1.0

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

IdentityNothing to check against

No operator stands behind this name, so there is nothing to check its visits against.

§ II.

How to block MySimpleCmdBot

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 MySimpleCmdBot's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.

robots.txt
# Block MySimpleCmdBot from the whole site
User-agent: MySimpleCmdBot
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: MySimpleCmdBot
Allow: /
Disallow: /members/
