The Bot Fight Mode won’t allow you to do any kind of granularity, and cannot be recommended, except in extreme situations, where you need to mitigating attacks from bots, and where there is no alternative ways to do that.
It may block bots from various platforms.
If you don’t want a such possibility, then you don’t want Bot Fight Mode, but any of the alternatives, such as e.g.:
Create your own WAF rules exclude Verified bots.
Create your own WAF rules, where you only block traffic that you have actually identified to be bad for your website.
Super Bot Fight Mode, which offers much more granularity.
