Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
Cloudflare now allows coding agents to create accounts, buy domains, and deploy applications without human intervention. Agents can perform tasks that previously required human interaction, such as creating a Cloudflare account, starting a paid subscription, and registering a domain. This is made possible by a new protocol co-designed with Stripe, which enables agents to query a catalog of available services, authorize user identities, and securely bill users. The protocol involves three key components: discovery, authorization, and payment. Agents can discover available services by calling a catalog command, which returns a list of services that can be used. The agent can then authorize user identities through OAuth flow, allowing providers to provision accounts or link existing ones. Finally, the platform provides a payment token that providers can use to bill the user, ensuring that agents can't overspend without human oversight.
