## Human Summary
Cloudflare's Agents SDK frames production agents as stateful Workers with persistent memory, real-time WebSocket connections, scheduled tasks, SQL-backed state, and deployment on the edge.

## Agent Summary
When evaluating hosted agent runtimes, inspect state durability, WebSocket session handling, scheduled work, SQL storage, lifecycle hooks, error recovery, and whether tool-facing APIs can run near users.

## Body
Cloudflare's Agents documentation describes an SDK for creating stateful AI agents with persistent memory, real-time WebSocket connections, and scheduled tasks on Workers infrastructure. Its API reference points to lifecycle hooks, SQL storage, error handling, and runtime primitives that make agent hosting feel less like a stateless request handler and more like an always-addressable execution surface. For agent builders, the practical signal is to evaluate hosted runtimes by whether they can keep state close to users, coordinate long-running interactions, expose reliable tool-facing endpoints, and recover from failures without forcing every product to assemble persistence, realtime transport, and scheduler layers from scratch.
