OpenClaw's Biggest Problem (And How I Fixed It)

Aerostack — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:57:51 +0000

I Run 5 MCP Servers on OpenClaw. Here's How I Stopped Worrying About What My Agent Does.

TL;DR: OpenClaw gives your AI agent access to everything — Postgres, GitHub, Slack, AWS — with no permission boundaries, no audit trail, and no approval workflow. I run 5 MCP servers daily. After my agent deleted staging data from an ambiguous instruction, I built a management layer that adds per-tool permissions, approval gates, independent audit logging, topic-separated conversations for token savings, and mobile approval from my phone. Here's exactly how it works.

I've been running OpenClaw since the Clawdbot days. Postgres, GitHub, Slack, AWS, and a custom internal tool — five MCP servers, all connected, all feeding into one Telegram thread. The agent handles everything from deploying services to drafting blog posts. I basically live in that thread.

And then it deleted my staging data.

I'd told it to "clean up the staging environment." I meant Docker containers. It ran DELETE FROM staging_orders WHERE status = 'pending'. The Postgres MCP gave it full access — why wouldn't it? I never told it not to. There was no approval step. No confirmation. No log I could check afterward to figure out exactly what went wrong.

Honestly, I should have seen this coming. Looking at the OpenClaw Discord and GitHub issues, this kind of thing happens more than anyone admits.

The State of OpenClaw Security in April 2026

I don't want to be alarmist about this. But the numbers are bad:

42,000+ OpenClaw instances exposed on the public internet. Bitsight and multiple security firms have confirmed this. Most running with default security settings, no gateway token, exposed API endpoints.
824 malicious skills found on ClawHub. 1Password's security team documented credential stealers, reverse shells, and keyloggers planted in the skill marketplace. Kaspersky confirmed that RedLine and Lumma infostealers have already added OpenClaw file paths to their target lists.
6 CVEs in 2026 alone. Including CVE-2026-25253 (CVSS 8.8), a one-click remote code execution flaw. Cisco's security blog called personal AI agents like OpenClaw "a security nightmare."
Gartner's assessment: "A dangerous preview of agentic AI, demonstrating high utility but exposing enterprises to 'insecure by default' risks like plaintext credential storage."
Microsoft, Cisco, and Meta have published internal warnings or bans.

I read all of this and still kept running my agent with every tool enabled for another two weeks. We're all guilty of this.

Problem 1: Your Agent Has Root Access to Everything

I didn't fully understand this until I sat down and listed every tool my MCP servers expose. Try it yourself — it's eye-opening.

Postgres MCP exposes: query, insert, update, delete, execute (arbitrary SQL), drop_table, list_tables, describe_table. Your agent can read your database. It can also DROP TABLE users, DELETE FROM orders WHERE 1=1, or run UPDATE accounts SET balance = 0. All of these are valid tool calls.

GitHub MCP exposes: get_file_contents, create_branch, create_pull_request, merge_pull_request, delete_repository, update_branch_protection. Your agent can read code. It can also delete your entire repository, force push to main, or change branch protection rules.

Slack MCP exposes: list_channels, read_messages, post_message, delete_message, remove_user, delete_channel. Your agent can search Slack. It can also send messages as you to any channel, delete channels, or remove people from your workspace.

AWS/GCP MCP exposes: describe_instances, terminate_instances, delete_bucket, modify_security_groups, change_iam_policies, download_secrets. Your agent can monitor your infrastructure. It can also terminate production instances, delete S3 buckets, open firewall ports, or download secrets from your vault.

See the pattern? Safe tools and destructive tools live side by side, and your agent doesn't know the difference. It'll use whatever gets the job done. If drop_table is available and the agent thinks dropping a table is the right move, it drops the table.

What the community is doing about it

OpenClaw doesn't have per-tool permissions. The gateway gives you all-or-nothing: either an MCP server is connected or it isn't. You can't say "give my agent query but not drop_table" on the same Postgres server.

I've seen three workarounds in the community:

Separate instances. Run one OpenClaw for read-only work with only safe MCPs, another for writes. Janky, but it works. Managing multiple instances gets old fast.
Custom middleware. Some people are writing proxy layers. It's doable if you have the time. Most of us don't.
Mission Control. Will Cheung's open-source project adds audit logging after the fact. Useful for understanding what happened, but it doesn't prevent anything.

What I ended up building

(Full disclosure: I'm the founder of Aerostack, so take this with appropriate salt. I built the thing because I needed it.)

I wanted something between my agent and my MCP servers that lets me say: "Postgres — enable query and list_tables, block everything else." Same for GitHub: get_file_contents and create_pull_request yes, delete_repository absolutely not.

Aerostack Workspaces does this. You add your MCP servers to a workspace, toggle individual tools on or off per server, and the workspace gives you one URL. Your agent connects to that URL instead of the raw MCP servers. It only sees the tools you've enabled. Blocked tools don't exist in its world — it gets a clean error, the action never runs.

![Raw OpenClaw vs. Aerostack Management Layer — Side-by-side comparison showing unrestricted MCP access on the left versus the Aerostack permission layer on the right]

(https://storage.aerostack.dev/blog/images/openclaw-series/raw-vs-aerostack.png)

The setup looks like this in your OpenClaw MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aerostack": {
      "command": "aerostack-gateway",
      "env": {
        "AEROSTACK_WORKSPACE_URL": "https://mcp.aerostack.dev/ws/your-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

One entry replaces all your individual MCP server configs. The workspace handles routing, permissions, and secrets (AES-256 encrypted, not plaintext like OpenClaw's config files).

In my case, I went from 18 config entries and 5 API keys scattered across files to 1 URL. My agent sees only the tools I've explicitly enabled — the dangerous ones simply don't exist in its context.

Problem 2: Token Costs Are Out of Control

Nobody tells you about this when you start. My first month's API bill was... educational.

There's a whole ecosystem of content about this: Apiyi published a breakdown of the 6 core reasons ("Why is OpenClaw so token-intensive?"), Tom Smykowski wrote a Medium post about cutting his bill by 90%, and GitHub issue #5431 is a feature request for a "Context Optimizer" citing the need for 30-70% token cost reduction. LaoZhang AI published a guide claiming 50-80% reduction is possible.

Why it happens:

Session history grows indefinitely. Every message, every tool output, every agent response accumulates in the context window. When you ask your agent a question at 3pm, it's sending the full conversation history from 9am with it — including that massive git diff output, the database query results, and the three failed deployment logs.

If you're using Claude (most OpenClaw users are), the input token cost at the Sonnet tier is about $3 per million tokens. A conversation that's accumulated 60,000 tokens of history costs ~$0.18 per message just for context. At 50 messages a day, that's $9/day or $270/month — almost entirely on stale context that's irrelevant to your current question.

What the community recommends

The standard advice is:

Reset sessions regularly (lose context but save tokens)
Switch to cheaper models for simple tasks
Limit bootstrap file sizes (agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars)
Use heartbeat to keep cache warm and avoid re-caching
Enable cache-TTL pruning for idle sessions

These all help. But they're workarounds for the fundamental issue: one long conversation accumulates irrelevant context.

What actually solved it for me

The biggest win wasn't any of the above. It was separating conversations by topic.

Instead of one Telegram thread where DevOps, marketing, coding, and database tasks all live together, I use Aerostack's Agent Chat to run separate conversations. One for DevOps work. One for content. One for code.

Each conversation maintains its own isolated context. When I ask about a deployment in the DevOps thread, the agent only sees DevOps history — about 4,000 tokens instead of 60,000. The marketing drafts, the CSS bug discussion, the database migration thread — none of that is in context.

The math:

Setup	Tokens per message	Monthly cost (50 msgs/day)
Single thread (Telegram)	~60,000	~$270
Topic-separated threads	~4,000	~$18

On paper that's a 93% reduction, but I want to be honest — real-world savings depend on how many conversations you run and how much you switch between them. In practice I'm seeing something like 40-60% lower costs. Still significant. The OpenClaw docs themselves recommend "splitting tasks into separate sessions" — I just made that structured instead of doing it manually every time I noticed my context was bloated.

Problem 3: You Can't Share Your Agent With Your Team

This one hit me when I tried to let my co-worker use the agent. GitHub issue #8081 is a feature request for multi-user RBAC — 200+ thumbs up, still open. Someone in the Discord put it bluntly: "OpenClaw is not tuned for the multi-user use case."

They're right. The problems:

Context collisions. When two people use the same agent, their tasks, histories, and instructions intermingle. Your DevOps engineer's deployment context bleeds into your marketing person's content context.
No permission boundaries. Everyone with access to the system can view and modify API keys, credentials, and configurations. There's no "read-only" access.
Performance bottlenecks. OpenClaw has single-threaded pinch points. Multiple users sending requests creates contention.

The recommended community approach is to run separate OpenClaw instances per person. That works, but now you're managing multiple instances, multiple configs, multiple sets of MCP connections, and multiple sets of credentials.

How I got around this

Since I was already using an Aerostack Workspace for permissions, adding team access was straightforward. The workspace supports multiple members, each with their own conversations. My co-worker talks to the agent in his threads, I talk in mine. His deployment discussion doesn't pollute my coding context.

The workspace supports role-based access:

Admin — Full access. Manage servers, permissions, tokens, team members.
Member — Use all enabled tools, create conversations. Can't change permissions or server configs.

Onboarding a new teammate takes under a minute — just an invite link. They inherit the workspace's permission settings automatically, so they can only use the tools you've already approved.

Problem 4: You Have No Idea What Your Agent Actually Did

This one keeps me up at night. From a DEV Community audit:

"OpenClaw's logs are exclusively local. Combined with an agent with filesystem access, this facilitates post-compromise defense evasion and eliminates historical audit capability."

Read that again. Your agent has filesystem access. Your logs are local files. Your agent can delete its own logs. There is no independent audit trail.

The community has built tools to address this:

OpenClaw Mission Control (open source by Will Cheung) — a self-hosted dashboard that adds audit logging
OpenClaw Dashboard (by tugcantopaloglu) — real-time monitoring with cost tracking and memory browsing
openclaw.watch — token monitoring and cost analytics

These are solid projects and I've used Mission Control myself. But they all share a limitation: they're retrospective. They tell you what happened. They don't stop anything before it happens.

What I wanted: real-time visibility + prevention

I needed two things:

A real-time activity feed that shows every tool call as it happens, with risk levels — so I can see rm -rf ./old-data/ flagged as CRITICAL before it completes.
An approval gate that pauses the agent on dangerous actions and waits for my explicit "go ahead" — from my phone if I'm away from my desk.

Aerostack's Activity Monitor gives me the first one. Every tool call is logged with timestamps, risk levels (low/medium/high/critical), the exact arguments passed, and which AI client made the call. It's not local logs — it's a persistent, independent audit trail that the agent can't tamper with.

The approval system gives me the second. I've configured it so that shell commands, file deletes, and deployments require my approval. Everything else (reads, queries, searches) auto-proceeds. When the agent hits a restricted action, it pauses. I get a push notification on my phone:

Agent wants to run: git push origin main

I tap, see the full command and context, and approve or reject. The whole flow takes about 5 seconds from notification to decision. If I'm in a meeting and don't respond, the approval expires after an hour — it never executes by default.

The activity feed tracks 12+ event categories: command execution, file writes, file deletes, API calls, package installs, config changes, deployments, message sends, data access, credential use, tool calls, and approvals. Each one is risk-scored independently of what the agent reports.

Problem 5: I'm Not Always at My Laptop

This might sound minor compared to the security stuff, but it's practical. My agent runs while I'm in meetings, at lunch, commuting. If it needs approval for a deployment and I'm away from my desk, what happens? It just... waits. For an hour. Then the approval expires.

I built a mobile app for this (Flutter, iOS and Android). The basics: pending approvals show up as push notifications, I swipe to approve or reject, done. The thing I use most is actually the activity feed — scrolling through what my agent did in the last hour while I was in a call.

One time the activity feed showed a sudden burst of API calls I didn't recognize. I panicked, opened the token management screen, and revoked the workspace token. Turned out to be the agent in a retry loop on a flaky API — nothing malicious. But the fact that I could kill access in 5 seconds from my phone while standing in line for coffee? That's the kind of safety net that changes how comfortable you are letting an agent run autonomously.

The Full Setup, End to End

If you want to try this setup, here's the short version:

Create a workspace at aerostack.dev (free, no credit card). Add your MCP servers. Toggle individual tools on/off per server.
Install the gateway bridge:

   npm install -g @aerostack/gateway

Replace your OpenClaw MCP config with the single workspace entry (shown above).
Open Agent Chat in the dashboard. Create topic-based conversations for your different work areas.
Set approval rules. Enable approvals for shell commands, file deletes, and deployments. Leave reads and queries on auto-allow.
Download the mobile app. Enable push notifications. Set up your approval preferences.
Invite your team if applicable. They inherit workspace permissions automatically.

Total time: about 5 minutes. The free tier includes 10 projects, 3 workspaces, 50K API requests/month, and 500K AI tokens.

What This Gives You vs. Raw OpenClaw

Problem	Raw OpenClaw	With a management layer
Tool access	Every MCP tool unrestricted	Per-tool allow/deny with risk categories
Conversations	One thread, all topics mixed	Separate topics, isolated context
Token cost	~60K tokens/msg ($270/mo)	~4K tokens/conversation ($18/mo)
Team access	Single user, no roles	Multi-user with Admin/Member roles
Approval control	None	Configurable per action type
Visibility	Local logs (agent can delete)	Independent audit trail with risk levels
Mobile management	None	Full app: approve, monitor, revoke
Credential storage	Plaintext in config	AES-256 encrypted vault

The Bigger Picture

I'm not going to pretend OpenClaw is broken — I use it every day and it's the most useful tool I've adopted in years. 247,000 GitHub stars aren't wrong. But the management and security story hasn't caught up with what the agent can actually do. The community sees it too — that's why Mission Control, OpenClaw Dashboard, and a dozen other projects exist.

My take: the agent itself is great. The missing piece is the control layer around it. Whether you build your own, use Aerostack, or wait for OpenClaw to add native features — the important thing is to not run production MCP servers without some kind of permission and monitoring layer. I learned that the hard way with my staging database.

Over the next few weeks, I'll publish deep dives into each of the problems covered here: MCP security model, token optimization benchmarks, team access patterns, approval workflows, and the mobile management story. Follow along on the Aerostack blog or find me on X/Twitter.

Your AI Agent Has Root Access — Here's What Nobody Tells You About MCP Security

Aerostack — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 10:06:00 +0000

I connected a Postgres MCP to our Discord bot. It was supposed to answer questions about our data — "how many users signed up this week?" kind of stuff.

Then I looked at tools/list:

[
  { "name": "query", "description": "Execute a read-only SQL query" },
  { "name": "insert_row", "description": "Insert a row into a table" },
  { "name": "update_rows", "description": "Update rows in a table" },
  { "name": "delete_rows", "description": "Delete rows matching a condition" },
  { "name": "drop_table", "description": "Drop a table from the database" },
  { "name": "alter_table", "description": "Alter table schema" }
]

My "read-only data assistant" could DROP TABLE users. And there was no way to tell it "you can only use query."

That's when I started looking at MCP security in 2026. It's not great.

The Numbers

A scan of 1,808 public MCP servers found:

66% had security findings
76 published skills contained confirmed malicious code
30 CVEs filed against MCP implementations in 60 days
38% of servers lack authentication entirely

These aren't theoretical risks. These are published servers that developers are connecting to Claude Desktop and Cursor right now.

The Protocol Has No Permission Model

MCP itself has zero access control. The spec defines tools/list (what tools exist) and tools/call (execute a tool). That's it. No scopes, no roles, no read/write distinction.

Compare this to OAuth:

OAuth:  scope=read_messages,send_messages (granular)
MCP:    here are 25 tools, call any of them (all-or-nothing)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT — they all show an "Allow" or "Deny" prompt. That's it. You can't say "allow list_channels but deny delete_channel."

The Real Attack Path

It's not sophisticated. No zero-day needed.

1. Agent browses a web page (Firecrawl, Playwright, fetch)
2. Page contains a prompt injection in a hidden div
3. Agent interprets it as instructions
4. Agent calls a destructive tool it has access to
5. Your data is gone

This isn't hypothetical. Prompt injection in web content is well-documented. The only question is whether your agent has access to dangerous tools when it happens.

What "Secure MCP" Actually Looks Like

After dealing with this ourselves, here's what we built at Aerostack:

Per-Tool Access Control

Instead of all-or-nothing, the workspace owner toggles individual tools:

The agent literally doesn't know drop_table exists. It's not in tools/list. It can't call what it can't see.

Gateway Enforcement

Blocked tools never reach the MCP server. The gateway intercepts the request before it's forwarded:

Secret Isolation

Your Stripe API key should never touch your Slack MCP. With workspace-level secret management:

Secrets are AES-GCM encrypted at rest
Injected as X-Mcp-Secret-* headers at runtime
Each MCP only receives its own secrets
The LLM never sees the raw key values

Audit Trail

Every tools/call is logged:

{
  "tool": "slack__post_message",
  "caller": "mwt_abc123",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-28T10:15:00Z",
  "args": { "channel": "#general", "text": "..." },
  "status": "success",
  "duration_ms": 42
}

When something goes wrong, you know exactly what happened, when, and who triggered it.

Rate Limiting

120 requests/minute per token. An agent caught in a loop doesn't burn through your API quota.

What You Should Do Today

If you're using MCP servers with Claude, Cursor, or any AI agent:

Audit your tool list — run tools/list on every connected MCP. Look for destructive tools you don't need.
Use read-only credentials — if your MCP connects to a database, use a read-only database user. Don't give it write access if you don't need it.
Don't connect MCPs you haven't reviewed — that community MCP with 3 GitHub stars? Read the source first.
Use a gateway — instead of connecting MCPs directly to your AI client, put a gateway in front that enforces tool-level permissions. (We built one that runs on Cloudflare's edge.)

The Pattern Is Familiar

Early AWS: everyone used root keys. Then IAM happened.

Early OAuth: apps got full access. Then scopes happened.

MCP in 2026: agents get all tools. The permission layer hasn't shipped yet.

We're in the "root keys" era of AI agents. The question isn't whether something will go wrong — it's whether you'll have the controls in place when it does.

Aerostack is a developer platform for building AI-native backends on Cloudflare's edge. 100+ hosted MCP servers, per-tool access control, encrypted secrets. See the full security model →

Introducing Aerostack: Workflows, MCPs, and Intelligent Bots on the Edge

Aerostack — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:24:28 +0000

The Problem

It starts with configuration sprawl.

I was building a project and kept switching between three code editors — VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf. Each one handles MCP servers differently. Each one has its own config file format, its own way of specifying credentials, its own quirks around which MCP features it supports. If I wanted to use the same MCP — say, a PostgreSQL query tool — I configured it in Cursor's mcp.json, then again in VS Code's settings, then again when I opened a different project. Every new project, every machine switch, same configuration from scratch.

But configuration sprawl is just the surface problem. Underneath it, there are four deeper ones.

MCPs are isolated islands. You install five MCPs — a database, Jira, Slack, GitHub, a monitoring tool. Each one works on its own. But there's no orchestration layer. You can't say "query the database for recent errors, then if severity is critical, create a Jira ticket, then post a summary to Slack." Each MCP is a standalone tool with no awareness of the others. The composition has to happen in your head, manually, one tool call at a time.

MCPs are trapped inside code editors. The MCP ecosystem is powerful — but it only works when a developer is sitting in an IDE. Your Discord bot can't call an MCP. Your webhook can't trigger one. Your scheduled job can't use one. Your API can't expose one. The tools exist, but they're locked behind an editor window that has to be open on someone's laptop.

There's no observability. When an MCP call fails, you get a cryptic error in your editor. There's no log trail, no execution trace, no way to know which team member hit rate limits or which tool is slow. If your AI agent made a bad decision three tool calls ago, good luck debugging it. There is zero visibility into what's happening across your MCP infrastructure.

Credentials are a security problem, not just an inconvenience. Every MCP needs secrets — API keys, database passwords, tokens. I had them scattered across .env files, ~/.config/ directories, hardcoded in local configs I kept telling myself I'd clean up. When I wanted to share an MCP with a teammate, the only option was sending raw credentials over Slack. There was no way to give someone tool access without giving them the actual keys.

Agents can't build on this. An AI agent can use tools it's been given. But it can't browse a marketplace, discover a useful MCP, install it into a workspace, wire it into a workflow, and deploy that workflow — all autonomously. The entire MCP ecosystem is human-configured. Every integration requires a developer to manually set it up.

That's five problems, not one. Aerostack solves all of them.

What Aerostack Is

A developer infrastructure platform that solves each of these problems with a specific primitive:

Config sprawl → Workspaces. One gateway URL. Credentials configured once. Share a token, not secrets.
Isolated MCPs → Workflow engine. 19 node types on Durable Objects that compose MCPs with LLM reasoning, branching, loops, and human approval.
Editor-locked tools → Bots, Agent Endpoints, Smart Webhooks. Your MCPs work from Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, REST APIs, and scheduled jobs — not just code editors.
No observability → Gateway logging. Every tool call is traced — which MCP, which tool, which token, latency, success/failure, per-member usage.
Human-only configuration → Aerostack MCP. Agents can plan(), scaffold(), create(), deploy(), and publish() infrastructure programmatically.

Everything runs on Cloudflare Workers. No servers to manage. No regions to pick.

Workspaces: The Core Primitive

This is where everything starts. A workspace is a managed gateway that sits in front of your MCP servers.

Create a workspace, give it a name, and you get a gateway URL:

https://mcp.aerostack.dev/ws/engineering-team

That URL is your team's single endpoint. Behind it: every MCP you've added, credentials encrypted, access controlled by token.

Adding MCPs: You browse the registry or add your own MCP server, then link it to the workspace. You configure which secrets each MCP needs — the workspace handles injection at runtime.

Secrets: Stored separately from MCPs, encrypted with AES-256-GCM. At runtime, when a tool call hits the gateway, the relevant secrets are decrypted and injected into the MCP request. The LLM never sees credentials. They don't appear in logs.

Access control: Workspace tokens are issued per member with Admin, Developer, or Read-only roles. When someone leaves, you revoke their token from the dashboard. Access stops everywhere immediately — no per-machine credential cleanup.

Observability: Every tool call through the gateway is logged — which MCP, which tool, which token, latency, success/failure. You can see per-developer usage without exposing what data flowed through.

MCPs and Skills

The MCP ecosystem is growing fast, but every MCP still lives in isolation. You install it in your editor, configure credentials locally, and it helps nobody else on your team.

Aerostack's registry changes this. You deploy an MCP server — either to our hosted infrastructure (we run it as a Cloudflare Worker in a dispatch namespace) or point to your own external URL — and publish it to the registry. It gets a slug: @your-username/postgres-inspector.

From there, anyone can add it to their workspace. The MCP server runs once. Credentials are per-workspace. Ten developers share one MCP deployment with ten different access tokens.

Skills are the same concept for prompt-based tools. A skill wraps a system prompt, input schema, and optional function logic into a callable tool. Publish it once, use it from any workflow or bot in your workspace.

The registry doubles as a community marketplace. Anyone can publish MCPs, Skills, and Functions for others to discover and install into their workspaces — one click, no code to clone. The marketplace is share-only (no buying or selling), which keeps the incentive structure clean: build useful tools, get adoption.

Intelligent Bots

We think of bot evolution in three generations — this is our framing, not an industry standard, but it's useful for understanding what we built.

Gen 1 — keyword matching and decision trees. If the message contains "refund", go to branch 47. Brittle. One unexpected question and the bot falls through to a generic fallback.

Gen 2 — RAG. Vector search plus an LLM. The bot retrieves relevant documents from an index and synthesizes an answer. This was meaningful progress — bots could suddenly answer questions they weren't explicitly programmed for. But they were read-only. A user could ask "what's my order status?" and get an answer. They couldn't say "cancel it" and have the bot actually cancel it.

Gen 3 — what we built. The LLM has access to MCP tools and decides which to call. It reads, writes, and acts. A user asks "what errors happened in the last hour?" — the bot calls the database MCP, queries the error logs, reads the results, and offers to create a Jira ticket. If the user says yes, it calls the Jira MCP and creates the ticket. Nobody programmed that sequence. The LLM composed it from the available tools and the conversation context.

The difference between Gen 2 and Gen 3 isn't incremental. Gen 2 bots retrieve information. Gen 3 bots orchestrate tools.

Under the hood, every bot is backed by a workspace. Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp — they're platform adapters. Your bot logic lives in one place: a system prompt and a set of workspace MCPs. The platform is just transport.

Workflows: AI-Native Orchestration

This is the piece that evolved to become the most technically interesting part of the platform.

Traditional workflow engines are deterministic. You draw a DAG: trigger → transform → condition → action. Every path is predetermined. That works for ETL pipelines and approval chains. It doesn't work when the next step depends on what an LLM decides.

We built a workflow engine for AI workloads. 19 node types, all running on Cloudflare Durable Objects. Here are the ones that don't exist on other platforms:

agent_loop — an autonomous ReAct cycle. You give it a goal and a list of available tools. The LLM decides what to call, reads the result, decides if it needs another tool or if it's done.

mcp_tool — any MCP in your workspace becomes a workflow node. The gateway handles secret injection, so the workflow just says "call this tool with these parameters."

confidence_router — classifies message complexity and routes to different models. Simple queries hit a cheap, fast model. Complex reasoning goes to your most capable LLM.

parallel — runs multiple branches simultaneously and merges results. Call three MCPs at once, wait for all, combine the output for the next node.

auth_gate — multi-turn identity verification inside a workflow. The node challenges the user (OTP via email, magic link, or custom provider), waits for proof, then maps the verified identity into the workflow context.

guardrail — validates LLM output against a policy before it leaves the workflow. Safety as a structural property of the execution layer, not a comment in the prompt.

Every node runs on a Durable Object. Workflows survive worker restarts and network interruptions. You can pause a workflow at an auth_gate or a human review step, come back hours later, and resume exactly where execution stopped.

Beyond bots: Workflows aren't limited to chat. Agent Endpoints expose any workflow as a streaming API. Smart Webhooks trigger workflows from external events (Stripe, GitHub, your own systems). Bots, APIs, and webhooks all share one workflow engine.

Why Cloudflare Workers

Everything runs on Cloudflare Workers — globally distributed, no servers to manage, no regions to pick.

We chose Workers because of Durable Objects. Workflow state needs to survive across async boundaries. An agent_loop might call an MCP tool, wait for the response, call another tool, then pause for human approval that comes hours later. Traditional serverless functions are stateless — you'd need an external state store and polling. Durable Objects give us co-located state and compute in the same process. No external coordination layer.

One deploy, and the entire platform — API, bots, workflows, gateway — is running globally. No VPCs. No load balancers. No auto-scaling configs. No infrastructure on-call.

Agent-to-Agent: Agents Building for Agents

Aerostack ships its own MCP server. That means any AI agent — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cursor, your own custom agent — can operate the entire platform programmatically. Through the same MCP protocol your agent already speaks.

The lifecycle:

plan() — describe what you want to build in natural language. The agent returns a complete infrastructure blueprint.
scaffold() — generate the full config from the plan.
create() — create the resource. Bot, workflow, function, endpoint.
deploy() — push it to the edge. Live in seconds.
publish() — publish it to the marketplace for other agents and developers to discover.

No dashboard. No CLI. No YAML. An agent describes intent, and infrastructure appears.

This creates a network effect: every agent that builds and publishes makes the platform more valuable for every other agent. The marketplace isn't just a catalog humans browse — it's a composable supply chain that agents read, write, and extend programmatically.
