Summary

On July 28, 2026, Cloudflare's Browser Run added a structured handoff for human-in-the-loop workflows. Using Cloudflare-specific CDP commands, an agent driving a browser can formally pause and signal that it needs help, a person steps in through Live View to complete the step, and the agent resumes automatically once the work is done.

What changed

Browser Run gained a formal pause-and-resume handoff. Agents can emit a structured signal that they need human help; a human takes over via Live View for steps like MFA logins, CAPTCHAs, or entering sensitive credentials; and the agent continues from where it stopped. This replaces the prior manual pattern of sharing a Live View URL and polling for completion.

Why it matters

A single login wall or unexpected prompt previously could fail an entire multi-step browser automation. A first-class human-in-the-loop primitive makes long-running browser agents production-viable, and keeps sensitive credential entry with a human instead of the model - a practical safety and reliability boundary for agentic web automation.

Evidence excerpt

Using Cloudflare-specific CDP commands, your agent can signal that it needs help, a human steps in through Live View to handle the task, and the agent resumes once the work is done. Structured handoff replaces manual Live View URL sharing and polling with a formal pause-and-resume flow.
