Featureless agent identity polygons feed a specific override inside a broader site-policy boundary and a separate traffic-visibility tap.

Summary: Cloudflare introduced a Personal Assistants category, visibility tooling and per-agent access policies for consumer AI assistants reaching corporate resources. The company positions the controls as early access and emphasizes identity, reputation and accountability gaps when agents act for users. The announcement provides product behavior, not independent outcome measurements.

Why it matters: Security teams can inventory one assistant-mediated workflow, identify the user and agent separately, restrict reachable resources, and require confirmation for consequential actions. Log every decision so the policy can be tested against misuse, stale identity and exception handling.
