What is WellKnownBot?

WellKnownBot appears to be a web crawler whose primary function is to discover and access resources within the /.well-known/ directory of websites. The /.well-known/ directory is a standardized location defined by the IETF for serving site-wide metadata, such as security policies, authentication endpoints, and other configuration files. Bots like WellKnownBot may be used by services or organizations to automatically gather this metadata for purposes such as security analysis, compliance checks, or service integration. While not as widely recognized as major search engine crawlers, its naming convention suggests a focused and legitimate use case centered around the standardized /.well-known/ path.
