> Any agent can now run wrangler deploy --temporary and deploy a Worker to Cloudflare. This temporary deployment stays live for 60 minutes, during which time you can claim the temporary account, making it permanently your own. If you don't, it expires on its own.
Forget about agents, Cloudflare just provided free scratch deployments - ephemeral for 60 minutes - for anyone.
This is going to be amazing for things like PR previews and code review. Being able to deploy a preview to a working URL for free is a huge reduction in friction.
I hope it doesn't get abused so much that they turn it off again.

> I'm amused that it made me accept the terms and conditions without any indication of who I am
as far as i’m aware, that’s fully binding and often an accepted practise - take Minecraft’s server software, where you must accept the EULA with a text flag before running
It would have to be. And it's not new in the law at all. The principal-agent problem was one of the main enablers of the golden age of piracy. But that doesn't mean it isnt a solved problem now (in the law and practically)
This is a binding from service perspective. The agent use case is being highlighted in this example, however in practice the server does not knows what/who the client is. In fact with API's (user not present in loop) just notifying is good enough based on what I have been told by company legal teams in the past.
Ideally the agent is supposed to be responsible to surface its own TOS and the downstream TOS to the user. In other words most likely the agent is on the hook if this goes to court
This has never been tried in court, though, at best it probably just protects mojang from liability for banning your server from the IP address entry box (that's a real thing they do) if you don't obey
Obnoxious reply but I did this myself so I'm compelled to post it: review apps aren't that hard to implement yourself. You just need a VPS, domain name, and Caddy. Then tell any agent to connect the dots.
