Cloudflare adds analytics and per-agent access controls for personal AI agents
Cloudflare released new analytics and access controls that let site owners see which personal AI agents visit their sites and decide how much access each one gets. Sites using Account Abuse Protection, in early access, can see which user an agent represents. In Security Settings, the AI Crawler and Agent access policies setting, renamed from Agents policy, now offers per-agent choices: allow, block on pages with ads, or block, with the same options offered during zone onboarding. Existing Search and Training policies are unchanged.
Why it matters
Site owners no longer have to choose between blocking all automated agent traffic and accepting it blindly: they can identify specific personal agents and allow or restrict each one based on how it affects their business.
