Only a bit:

    swish-e.org -> documentation -> spider.pl -> configuration options

But doesn't get you very much info:

    # agent

    This optional key sets the name of the spider.

But it does basically answer your question.

    "is there a way to declare what bot I am?"

Which is:

    agent   => 'MyAgent',


And, if you don't top-post the list archives will be more friendly to others.
