Detecting bots / Checking scripted agent status

[Wulfie Reanimator]

It's been a while since I looked into this, but is there any public interface for checking whether a specific avatar is set to the Scripted Agent status, or is there any specific behavior we can observe? (For example, name hidden in group member lists, but I don't think this happens.)

I don't need to know whether the avatar is currently being controlled by a human or not. I only want to know this status:

Why don't you put in a Jira request for this as a script feature. Maybe part of llGetObjectDetails? maybe not.

Could be, llGetObjectDetails(key,[AVATAR_SCRIPTED_STATUS]); and simply returns true or false?.

You could argue it on the basis of stopping bots from entering your region if you were hosting an experience of some kind

If nothing comes up then maybe. I think llRequestAgentData would make the most sense, considering the name and what it already does, and not needing the avatar be in the area or online.

I think I recall a discussion about this a few years ago, but I don't think a solution was found. The aforementioned setting seems to be limited for viewing to LL. I checked the functions, the public profiles and the viewer URI and I haven't found a way, but I'd definitely support such a ticket if you submitted it.

Added suggestion that scripted agent status visibility is currently limited to LL

There is no way to see someones scripted agent status and in your profile you only declare this to LL and nobody else.

It's obvious that LL wants it that way. If I think about it I agree.
