Prefect is a modern Python workflow orchestration framework and cloud platform, designed for data pipelines and ML workflows. It provides flow scheduling, retries, observability, and a hosted control plane (Prefect Cloud) with agent-based execution. Flows are deployed as Docker containers or as Prefect workers that pull work from cloud queues.

attack surface

Why this package is monitored

Cloud-connected workflow agents authenticate to both the orchestration control plane and the data systems their flows access. A compromised package can exfiltrate the Prefect Cloud API key and all block-stored credentials in a single installation.
