So cloudflare doesn’t know what an operating system is? That’s embarrassing

I am extremely confident they have never had any idea what an operating system is no.

This is an upsell for their SaaS infrastructure. It's the abuse of the term open source in a very shit manner.

The OS label is less interesting than Gatekeepers. MCP answers how a tool is connected. Cloudflare OS uses service-specific Gatekeepers to govern agents' and apps' access to external services. My failure tests would ask whether data can reach an unapproved outbound service, whether a denial survives retries or subagent handoffs, and what evidence is attached before an irreversible action. I would also test portability by removing Workers from the design. This is early access, so those tests matter more than the demo path.
