What happened
Cloudflare launched BotBase for Operators, moving bot submissions to Protect & Connect → Application Security → BotBase in the dashboard. Operators can now view submission history and track statuses like 'Waiting for review,' addressing the previous 'black box' submission experience.
Why it matters
If you build AI agents or crawlers that hit sites behind Cloudflare, you must register them here to avoid being blocked; you can now track submission status instead of guessing if it was accepted.
Discussion angle
How to properly identify and register AI agents so they aren't blocked by major CDN bot management systems.
