The corresponding explanation in robots.txt is from a time when anyone with read access to Jenkins could view any job and trigger builds (with GET request, obviously). Reusing it here is silly. Please put a real explanation.

Please provide evidence that anything about llms.txt in these screenshots is supported by reality and not just an AI hallucination.
