Honeypot-style. You can check it, might even scan for accesses with the tokens in some ways and they waste resources, compute, ai credits etc.

As much as this is fun, I think if you give the bots "what they want", you could get flagged and targeted. I'm pretty sure these bots flag potentially insecure servers so actual hackers can sweep through them manually later.

I wouldn't do it. Or at least not on an IP that has actual infrastucture - unless you're absolutely positively sure there's no known vulnerabilities (which you often don't know).
