Cloudflare WriteGuard enforces risk-tiered write policies on MCP servers in private beta
↗
Cloudflare's WriteGuard, now in private beta, provides fine-grained security controls for MCP servers by intercepting requests, applying risk-tiered policies, and auditing all write actions.
For engineers building AI agents that use MCP to modify external services, WriteGuard adds a centralized policy and audit layer without requiring changes to each MCP server. It uses existing OAuth credentials, avoiding separate agent accounts, and classifies actions by risk to block or allow writes. This bridges the gap between read-only access and unrestricted write access.

WriteGuard is a shared policy, attribution, and auditing layer for MCP servers, currently in private beta.
It intercepts MCP requests and evaluates tool-specific risk tiers, from read-only to critical, to allow or block writes.
It uses existing OAuth credentials and adds client and session context to the human identity for auditing, without standalone agent accounts.
