## How to tell a real MistralAI-User from an impostor

Anyone can put "MistralAI-User" in a user agent. What can't be faked is below.

- **Check the address.** Mistral AI publishes the IP ranges MistralAI-User uses: [mistral.ai/mistralai-user-ips.json](https://mistral.ai/mistralai-user-ips.json). A request whose user agent says MistralAI-User from an address outside them is an impostor.

## How Punchline counts MistralAI-User

Punchline labels a request that names MistralAI-User with how sure it is: **verified** or **declared** when the evidence checks out, a lower tier when it can't be checked, and **impostor** when the evidence contradicts it. Each visit is counted under Mistral AI, with its purpose, so you can see whether MistralAI-User is bringing people's questions to your pages and which pages it reads.
