Building an open Agentic Internet: readable, discoverable, callable, and payable
Cloudflare is introducing a suite of tools and open standards for an "Agentic Internet" to optimize how AI agents read, discover, call, and pay for web content.
Why it matters
This allows website publishers to monetize AI traffic and control access, preventing AI agents from scraping content without providing compensation.
The details
- Web Bot Auth and PACT allow agents to cryptographically identify themselves to sites.
- WebMCP enables sites to expose specific actions and tools directly to AI agents.
- x402 and Monetization Gateway allow agents to pay publishers for content access.
