Summary

Cloudflare's Markdown for Agents conversion now preserves security and caching headers from the origin and honors origin Content Signals, and it fixes relative-link resolution for directory-style base URLs to reduce 404s.

What changed

On 2026-07-13 Cloudflare updated Markdown for Agents so converted responses retain origin security and caching headers and respect origin Content Signals, alongside a fix for relative link resolution on directory-style base URLs.

Why it matters

As agents increasingly fetch pages as Markdown, publishers risk losing control over how their content is accessed and cached. Preserving Content Signals lets site owners keep expressing AI-access preferences even through Cloudflare's agent-friendly Markdown pipeline, aligning agent consumption with publisher rules instead of stripping them.
