5 defaults every agent needs: build an agent golden path on Cloudflare

Most platform teams are shipping AI agents with the same defaults as a CRUD service: shared credentials, no spend ceiling, no human in the loop, and no way to trace what the agent actually did. That works until an agent with write access makes ten thousand decisions overnight.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll build a golden path template that gives every new agent five controls by default: its own identity, scoped access to tools, approval gates before write actions, hard usage limits, and end-to-end tracing. Then you'll deploy an agent through it and watch each control fire.

You will leave with:

• A working template you can adapt for your own platform

• A clear model of what an agent golden path must provide, independent of vendor

• The 3 adoption metrics worth tracking from day one
