Cloudflare OS: An open platform for agents, applications, and work

Cloudflare OS is a platform for AI agents and applications that organizations can deploy internally. It allows agents to work with company-specific context, integrate with internal systems, and securely manage access to sensitive data. It is used for automating work, creating documents, applications, and workflows.

The platform consists of three parts: an agent workspace with curated company context and skills, a security framework for controlled access to internal data, and a platform for building and sharing applications. Everything is built on the principle that agents start with no access and must explicitly request it.

Instead of handing API keys to agents, it uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that hold credentials and expose only a defined set of tools. The system uses Cloudflare Access for access control and tracks where data can flow to ensure only authorized people see sensitive information.

The second version addresses security issues when sharing between users, introduces live applications connected to internal systems, and adds deterministic workflows that do not require full agent sessions. Security became part of the platform rather than the responsibility of individual app builders.
