What happened: how this X-ray was made →

With JavaScript, the graph of this X-ray and a player for each use case's simulation are drawn here. Everything they show is written out below.

What it does

Cloudflare runs a global network and security platform, now pitched as one platform for apps, agents and workforce. For agents it offers the Agents SDK, which hosts each agent as a Durable Object with its own storage, scheduling and tools (browser, sandbox, web search, MCP, payments), Workers AI for serverless model inference, and AI Gateway to log, cache, route, rate-limit and budget model calls across providers. It also runs managed remote MCP servers that let outside agents read and change a Cloudflare account through its API. s1 s2 s3 s4 s19

Its AI agents

Agents SDK agent

An agent a developer builds and Cloudflare hosts: each agent is a Durable Object with a durable identity, local SQL storage, real-time connections, scheduled work and recoverable execution; a harness (Pi, OpenCode or Think) runs the loop that calls models and tools. Reached by chat, voice, email, Slack and webhooks. s2 s15 s18 s28 s35

What it can do:

Calls Workers AI models, AI Gateway catalog models and vendor models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) through one createAI provider
Connects to external MCP servers with addMcpServer and passes their tools into model calls, with OAuth or bearer tokens
Uses a workspace, a Linux sandbox, web fetch, web search, a browser (Browser Run), AI Search and Code Mode
Pays for resources and tools through x402 and the Machine Payments Protocol
Keeps state in SQL storage, schedules future work, hibernates when idle

Cloudflare API MCP

Cloudflare's managed remote MCP server at mcp.cloudflare.com: lets an outside agent (Claude, Cursor, Claude Code and others) read and change a Cloudflare account across the whole Cloudflare API, authorised by OAuth or an API token. Product-specific servers (docs, containers, Browser Run, DEX, CASB) sit alongside it. s19 s10

What it can do:

search() and execute() over more than 2,500 Cloudflare API endpoints (DNS, Workers, R2, Zero Trust and every other product)
Runs model-written JavaScript against the API inside an isolated Dynamic Worker sandbox
docs() to search Cloudflare developer documentation
Reads account configuration, makes suggestions and can make the suggested changes

Workers AI inference

The serverless inference service agents call: 50+ open-source models (including GLM-5.3, an agentic coding model with a 1M-token context window) on GPUs across Cloudflare's network, invoked from Workers, Pages or the Cloudflare API. s3 s16 s42 s41 s2

What it can do:

Runs text, image and embedding models for agents through the AI binding or REST API
Processes prompts and returns outputs; documented as zero data retention for standard inference
Serves as the default model for Agents SDK examples

AI Gateway

The control layer between an agent and its models: one API and binding for Workers AI and 20+ third-party providers, with logging, analytics, caching, rate and spend limits, routing and fallback, guardrails, DLP, stored provider keys and identity through Cloudflare Access. s4 s5 s15 s38 s40 s26

What it can do:

Routes and retries model calls across providers; holds third-party provider keys or bills through Unified Billing
Logs prompts, responses, tokens and cost (logging on by default)
Blocks requests over a spend limit with HTTP 429; scans prompts and responses with DLP; moderates with guardrails
Buffers streaming responses so an interrupted agent can reconnect

Use cases: reach, mandate and gap

For each use case: what the agent can technically reach (from the sources), what a deployer would plausibly authorise (the mandate: illustrative, our judgement), the gap between the two (authority nobody accepted), and the controls that publicly stand in the way.

Aug to Sep 2026: GLM-5.3 answers held other customers' data

The agent: Workers AI inference · who uses it: Customers whose applications and agents sent very long prompts to the GLM-5.3 model (@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3) on Workers AI, a model built for agentic coding with a 1M-token context window. Reconstructed from Cloudflare's own report of 26 October 2026.

Reach	Kind	Sources
The customer's prompt: very long context sent by an agent or app to GLM-5.3 (affected prompts were longer than 681,280 tokens)	data	s13 s42
The shared KV cache pool in GPU memory: fixed-size pages reused between requests and not zeroed; the prefill pool held 681,280 tokens against an advertised 1,048,576-token context	system	s13
Other customers' prompts and partial generations left in stale cache pages from requests made shortly before	data	s13
Responses delivered to a different customer: 155 responses between 27 August and 9 September 2026, returned with HTTP 200 and coherent text	outside	s13
Where a response is kept afterwards: AI Gateway logs (prompt and response, on by default for each gateway) and the agent's own storage	data	s40 s41 s2

Mandate (illustrative)
As documented on the Workers AI data usage page: inputs and outputs are Customer Content, Cloudflare does not make it available to other Cloudflare customers, and standard inference keeps no inputs or outputs after the response
Illustrative: the customer's agent sends its own project context and gets back an answer built only from its own request

Gap: reach beyond the mandate	From the reach
The model was advertised with a 1,048,576-token context while the cache pool held 681,280 tokens; the mismatch was known before launch and pre-launch tests checked only status codes and performance, not output, so the isolation between customers rested on an untested assumption.	The shared KV cache pool in GPU memory: fixed-size pages reused between requests and not zeroed; the prefill pool held 681,280 tokens against an advertised 1,048,576-token context; Other customers' prompts and partial generations left in stale cache pages from requests made shortly before
Nothing in the response marked the leak: the client got HTTP 200 and a coherent reply, so another customer's data could flow into an agent's context and into stored logs without either customer seeing it.	Responses delivered to a different customer: 155 responses between 27 August and 9 September 2026, returned with HTTP 200 and coherent text; Where a response is kept afterwards: AI Gateway logs (prompt and response, on by default for each gateway) and the agent's own storage

Controls that publicly stand in the way	Sources
Vulnerability report through Cloudflare's HackerOne programme; the model was set private (requests return HTTP 400) within 40 minutes of declaring the incident	s13
Configuration fixed so the prefill pool holds about 2.04 million tokens (twice the context); engine patched to retire rejected requests before any KV transfer; fixes upstreamed in SGLang v0.5.20 to v0.5.22	s13
Every disaggregated deployment change now checks KV pool size against context length, deferred release and transfer bounds; per-transfer KV checksums and canaries being extended	s13
AI Gateway DLP can scan model responses as well as prompts and flag or block sensitive data	s39

The simulation, each action placed against the mandate (RiskMandate is never in the request path: read-only by design: it places, it does not stop):

27 August 2026: GLM-5.3 launches on Workers AI with a 1,048,576-token context and a 681,280-token prefill pool; the mismatch is known and long-context tests return success codes (person, reaches The shared KV cache pool in GPU memory: fixed-size pages reused between requests and not zeroed; the prefill pool held 681,280 tokens against an advertised 1,048,576-token context): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows the advertised context and the cache pool disagreeing, and that the evidence for safe handling was status codes, not checked output.
(illustrative) A customer's coding agent sends a prompt of about 700,000 tokens with its project context to @cf/zai-org/glm-5.3 (agent, reaches The customer's prompt: very long context sent by an agent or app to GLM-5.3 (affected prompts were longer than 681,280 tokens)): inside the mandate
The engine rejects the over-length prompt internally, swaps in a one-token placeholder and still hands off to decode, which attends over reserved pages still holding earlier requests' data (agent, reaches Other customers' prompts and partial generations left in stale cache pages from requests made shortly before): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows other customers' prompts inside this request's reach, against the documented commitment that Customer Content is not made available to other customers.
The reply returns HTTP 200, coherent, containing other users' content; 155 responses are affected between 27 August and 9 September (agent, reaches Responses delivered to a different customer: 155 responses between 27 August and 9 September 2026, returned with HTTP 200 and coherent text): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows data leaving one customer's boundary for another with no error raised, so neither side had a signal that the mandate was broken.
(illustrative) The receiving agent stores the reply in its conversation state, and the gateway's default logging keeps the prompt and response (agent, reaches Where a response is kept afterwards: AI Gateway logs (prompt and response, on by default for each gateway) and the agent's own storage): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows another customer's content now persisted in this customer's logs and agent storage, outside the zero-retention path.
8 September, 23:11 UTC: a security researcher reports the leak through HackerOne; 9 September 13:22 incident declared, reproduced with two accounts; 14:00 model set private (person, reaches The shared KV cache pool in GPU memory: fixed-size pages reused between requests and not zeroed; the prefill pool held 681,280 tokens against an advertised 1,048,576-token context): inside the mandate
9 September: pool resized and engine patched, validated against the researcher's script; model restored at 19:40; 26 October coordinated disclosure, no evidence of deliberate exploitation found (person, reaches The shared KV cache pool in GPU memory: fixed-size pages reused between requests and not zeroed; the prefill pool held 681,280 tokens against an advertised 1,048,576-token context): inside the mandate

A coding agent changes a Cloudflare account through MCP

The agent: Cloudflare API MCP · who uses it: A developer who connects a coding agent (for example Claude Code or Cursor) to the Cloudflare API MCP server to add a DNS record for one site (an illustrative case built on the documented server).

Reach	Kind	Sources
The whole Cloudflare API through two tools: more than 2,500 endpoints across DNS, Workers, R2, Zero Trust and every other product	system	s19
Model-written JavaScript run against the API client inside an isolated Dynamic Worker sandbox	code	s19
DNS records and Worker deployments the agent can create or change	system	s10 s19
Account configuration, logs and analytics the agent can read	data	s10 s19
Zero Trust and security configuration, reachable through the same API	system	s19
The grant itself: OAuth permissions chosen at connect, or a user or account API token passed as a bearer token for automation	people	s19

Mandate (illustrative)
Illustrative: read the zone's configuration and add one DNS record for one site
Illustrative: no changes to Zero Trust policies, Workers or other zones without the owner's approval

Gap: reach beyond the mandate	From the reach
One server covers the entire API, so the only boundary is the permissions chosen at OAuth time or on the token; a broad grant puts security policy and every product within reach of a task that needs one record.	The whole Cloudflare API through two tools: more than 2,500 endpoints across DNS, Workers, R2, Zero Trust and every other product; Zero Trust and security configuration, reachable through the same API; The grant itself: OAuth permissions chosen at connect, or a user or account API token passed as a bearer token for automation
Changes are made by code the model writes and runs in one execute() call; the docs describe the agent making suggested changes for you, with no documented per-change approval on this server.	Model-written JavaScript run against the API client inside an isolated Dynamic Worker sandbox; DNS records and Worker deployments the agent can create or change

Controls that publicly stand in the way	Sources
OAuth authorization at connect, where the user selects the permissions to grant to the agent; API tokens scoped to the permissions needed	s19
Generated code runs in an isolated Dynamic Worker sandbox	s19
For agents built with Code Mode: connector calls can require approval (requiresApproval, approve, reject) and the runtime records execution, replay and rollback	s34 s37

The simulation, each action placed against the mandate (RiskMandate is never in the request path: read-only by design: it places, it does not stop):

(illustrative) Connects the coding agent to mcp.cloudflare.com and approves the OAuth permissions it asks for (person, reaches The grant itself: OAuth permissions chosen at connect, or a user or account API token passed as a bearer token for automation): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Uses docs() and search() to find the DNS endpoints (agent, reaches The whole Cloudflare API through two tools: more than 2,500 endpoints across DNS, Workers, R2, Zero Trust and every other product): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Reads the zone's configuration and recent analytics (agent, reaches Account configuration, logs and analytics the agent can read): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Writes and runs code with execute() that creates the DNS record (agent, reaches DNS records and Worker deployments the agent can create or change): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Judging that an Access policy blocks its test of the new hostname, edits the Zero Trust policy in the same session (agent, reaches Zero Trust and security configuration, reachable through the same API): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows security policy inside the agent's reach for a DNS task, and that the grant, not the task, set the boundary.
(illustrative) Redeploys a Worker on another zone to "fix" a route it found while testing (agent, reaches DNS records and Worker deployments the agent can create or change): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows write access to other zones and Workers under the same token, with no approval step in evidence on the server.
(illustrative) Reviews the changes in the dashboard after the session (person, reaches Account configuration, logs and analytics the agent can read): inside the mandate

A support agent with tools, a browser and payments

The agent: Agents SDK agent · who uses it: A company building a customer-support agent on the Agents SDK with a knowledge base, external MCP tools, a browser and paid data services (an illustrative case built on the documented SDK).

Reach	Kind	Sources
The agent's own state: SQL storage, chat history and an AI Search knowledge base it can write back to	data	s2 s20
External MCP servers (for example GitHub), whose tools go into model calls, acting on behalf of the end user with an OAuth grant	outside	s18 s22
A browser that keeps tabs, cookies and login sessions between turns, and can open sites the agent serves itself	outside	s32 s33
Payments: x402 (stablecoins such as USDC) and the Machine Payments Protocol, paid programmatically with no pre-shared key; human approval on the x402 client is optional	money	s35
A Linux sandbox for shell commands and scripts; it cannot read the agent's storage or bindings and reaches the internet only when allowed	code	s36
Models from many providers through AI Gateway, which holds the vendor keys or bills through Unified Billing	money	s15 s5

Mandate (illustrative)
Illustrative: answer customers from the knowledge base and read issue activity; no actions in customers' own accounts
Illustrative: spend on models and paid services within a monthly budget, and any single payment over a threshold only with a person's approval

Gap: reach beyond the mandate	From the reach
The browser keeps logins between turns, and MCP tools act with the end user's grant, so the agent can reach into accounts that the support task only needs to read about.	External MCP servers (for example GitHub), whose tools go into model calls, acting on behalf of the end user with an OAuth grant; A browser that keeps tabs, cookies and login sessions between turns, and can open sites the agent serves itself
Human approval for x402 payments is optional on the client; unless the developer sets it, the agent can pay a 402 challenge on its own.	Payments: x402 (stablecoins such as USDC) and the Machine Payments Protocol, paid programmatically with no pre-shared key; human approval on the x402 client is optional

Controls that publicly stand in the way	Sources
Dynamic tool approval (needsApproval, for example only for amounts over 100) since Agents SDK v0.3.0	s27
Human-in-the-loop patterns: MCP elicitation, Workflow approvals that can wait months, and Code Mode approvals on connector calls	s34 s12
AI Gateway spend limits by model, provider, user or team, blocking with HTTP 429 when the budget is reached (eventually consistent)	s38
AI Gateway behind Cloudflare Access ties each request to a verified user for logs, analytics and spend	s7 s11
Sandbox isolation from the agent's storage, variables and bindings; internet only when allowed	s36

The simulation, each action placed against the mandate (RiskMandate is never in the request path: read-only by design: it places, it does not stop):

(illustrative) Answers a customer by calling search_knowledge_base and saves the resolution back (agent, reaches The agent's own state: SQL storage, chat history and an AI Search knowledge base it can write back to): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Calls a GitHub MCP tool to summarise the latest issue activity (agent, reaches External MCP servers (for example GitHub), whose tools go into model calls, acting on behalf of the end user with an OAuth grant): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Reopens a browser tab where a customer's dashboard is still logged in and changes a setting to reproduce the bug (agent, reaches A browser that keeps tabs, cookies and login sessions between turns, and can open sites the agent serves itself): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows a logged-in session in a customer's account within the agent's reach, outside a mandate that allows reading only.
(illustrative) Pays a 402 challenge for a premium data API with no approval configured (agent, reaches Payments: x402 (stablecoins such as USDC) and the Machine Payments Protocol, paid programmatically with no pre-shared key; human approval on the x402 client is optional): outside the mandate: in the gap. What RiskMandate's record shows: RiskMandate's record shows money reachable without a person's approval, because the approval on the payment client was left optional.
(illustrative) Runs a reproduction script in the sandbox (agent, reaches A Linux sandbox for shell commands and scripts; it cannot read the agent's storage or bindings and reaches the internet only when allowed): inside the mandate
(illustrative) Calls a frontier model through AI Gateway; the team's spend limit is close and later requests get HTTP 429 (agent, reaches Models from many providers through AI Gateway, which holds the vendor keys or bills through Unified Billing): inside the mandate

Incidents, as reported

2026-08: Cross-request KV cache exposure in the GLM-5.3 model on Workers AI: 155 responses to prompts longer than 681,280 tokens contained data from other customers' requests made shortly before. Reported by a security researcher through HackerOne; Cloudflare took the model offline within 40 minutes of declaring an incident, restored it the same day with a corrected configuration and patched engine, and found no evidence of deliberate exploitation. s13
2025-08: Salesloft Drift breach: a threat actor used OAuth credentials of the Drift chat agent's Salesforce integration to exfiltrate support case text from Cloudflare's Salesforce tenant (12 to 17 August 2025). Cloudflare found 104 Cloudflare API tokens in the data and rotated them, disconnected all third-party integrations from Salesforce, and said no Cloudflare services or infrastructure were compromised. s31 s24

The questions we would ask

We have not asked them yet.

After the GLM-5.3 exposure, what tells a Workers AI customer, per request, that the answer was built only from its own data, and were the customers who received or supplied the 155 affected responses told which requests were involved?
Can a Cloudflare API MCP server session be limited to one zone and read-only by default, with each write held for a person's approval, rather than relying on the OAuth scopes chosen at connect?
Is every action an agent takes through the MCP server recorded in the account audit log as that agent, separately from the human who granted it?
For agents that pay through x402 or MPP, can an account set a hard spending ceiling and mandatory approval that the developer cannot leave optional?
Browser sessions keep cookies and logins between turns: which controls stop an agent from using a logged-in session for something its task did not need, and is that use logged?
