Assistant fetchers
GeistHaus-PageFetcher is a bot that fetches single pages on demand for an AI assistant, and its operator has not been publicly identified. GeistHaus-PageFetcher is a web crawler operated by GeistHaus, a company developing AI systems for therapy and psychological assessment. No IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine and a robots.txt rule alone will not stop a forgery.

Not documented. No operator statement says whether GeistHaus-PageFetcher reads robots.txt, so add the rule but verify in your logs that the requests actually stop.
You cannot, at least not from the request itself. No IP range file and no reverse-DNS convention have been published for this agent. The user-agent string is the only signal, and any client can send it, so treat a match as a claim rather than proof. Compare the source IP against hosting and datacenter ranges instead, and rate limit anything that behaves like a crawler.
Add the GeistHaus-PageFetcher token to robots.txt with Disallow: /. If the crawler ignores robots.txt, match the user agent at your CDN or reverse proxy and return 403 there instead.
