What it does

This agent connects customer-reported access problems to the actual WAF event that caused them. When someone files a ticket saying a page or API call was blocked, it finds the firewall event, judges whether the block was wrong, and closes the loop in the support tool.

When to use it

Use it when support agents keep escalating "I got blocked" tickets they can't diagnose. It gives them an authoritative answer fast and flags security when a customer-facing false positive needs an immediate exception.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket tagged as an access or blocked-request issue triggers the flow.
  2. 2The agent extracts the client IP, timestamp, and URL from the ticket.
  3. 3It queries Cloudflare for firewall events matching that client and window.
  4. 4A logic branch determines whether the block was a legitimate defense or a false positive.
  5. 5If a false positive, it posts an urgent alert to Slack naming the rule and customer impact.
  6. 6Either way, it replies on the Zendesk ticket with the finding and next steps.
