Cloudflare Unveils Open-Source AI Agent Platform with Enhanced Security Features
Cloudflare has open-sourced Cloudflare OS, an AI agent platform designed to give every employee a workspace and tools to build small apps. The company built the first version of Cloudflare OS for itself in May, giving its thousands of employees access to it.
The new version combines three parts: an agent workspace that grounds each conversation in a company's curated context and skills; a security and governance framework that sits between agents and systems of record; and a layer for personal, modifiable apps. The platform uses Gatekeepers, which are service-specific Cloudflare Workers, to mediate access to resources.
Cloudflare's CIO Sam Rhea explained the security approach: handing API keys to people and agents is dangerous and doesn't scale, as keys give broad, long-lived access that's hard to constrain or audit. Instead, agents start with no access and request specific resources through Gatekeepers.
