# Send suspect bots to a honeypot

Use the [bot score field](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/runtime-apis/request/#incomingrequestcfproperties) to send bots to a honeypot.

**JavaScript**

```js
export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const response = await fetch(request);


    // Clone the response so that it is no longer immutable
    const newResponse = new Response(response.body, response);


    if (request.cf.botManagement.score < 30) {
      const honeypot = "https://example.com/";
      return await fetch(honeypot, request);
    } else {
      return newResponse;
    }
  },
};
```
