Cloudflare BotBase Makes Bot Identity Operational

Intro

Cloudflare’s BotBase for Operators is a practical reminder that agent and crawler teams need identity, behavior declarations, and verification before traffic gets blocked.

Takeaways

  • Cloudflare says BotBase for Operators now lives in the Cloudflare dashboard under Protect & Connect - Application Security - BotBase.
  • Most small teams do not think of themselves as bot operators. They think they are building a research assistant, a support copilot, a RAG ingestion job, a price monitor, or a workflow agent.
  • BotBase already gives Cloudflare customers a way to browse known bots and agents, see behavior-based classifications, and target specific bots in security rules.
  • The next useful step would be wider interoperability.
