Cloudflare Integration: DNS & Workers for Agents

Agents can manage DNS records, deploy Workers, and configure page rules. API tokens are injected at the gateway.

Overview

OneCLI connects AI agents to Cloudflare so they can deploy Workers, manage DNS records, read and write KV namespaces, query D1 databases, deploy Pages sites, and interact with the full Cloudflare API. The gateway injects your API token into requests automatically.

Setup

1. Create an API token in Cloudflare

   Go to the Cloudflare dashboard and click Create Token.

   Choose a template or create a custom token with the permissions your agents need. Common templates:

   Template	Permissions	Use case
   Edit Cloudflare Workers	Workers Scripts: Edit, Workers Routes: Edit	Deploying and managing Workers
   Edit zone DNS	DNS: Edit	Managing DNS records
   Read All Resources	All zones and accounts: Read	Auditing, monitoring
   Custom	You choose	Fine-grained access

   API tokens can be scoped to specific accounts and zones, so you can restrict what your agents can access.

2. Connect in OneCLI

   Open the OneCLI dashboard, go to Connections > Cloudflare, and paste your API token.

How it works

1. Your API token is encrypted and stored by OneCLI
2. When an agent sends a request to api.cloudflare.com, the gateway intercepts it
3. The gateway injects the token as an Authorization: Bearer header
4. The request is forwarded to Cloudflare

Agents never see the raw token. The gateway handles injection transparently.

What agents can do

Service	API path	Examples
Workers	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/workers/scripts	Deploy scripts, manage bindings, set secrets
KV	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/storage/kv/namespaces	Read/write key-value pairs, list keys
D1	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/d1/database	Create databases, run SQL queries
Pages	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/pages/projects	Deploy static sites, manage projects
DNS	/client/v4/zones/{id}/dns_records	Create, update, delete DNS records
Cache	/client/v4/zones/{id}/purge_cache	Purge cache by URL, tag, or everything
AI Gateway	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/ai-gateway	Manage AI proxy gateways
Queues	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/queues	Create queues, send messages
Zero Trust	/client/v4/accounts/{id}/access	Manage access policies

Use cases

• Coding agents deploying Workers with wrangler deploy through the gateway
• Agents managing DNS records during infrastructure provisioning
• Reading and writing to KV stores during application workflows
• Running D1 SQL queries for data operations
• Deploying static sites to Cloudflare Pages

Token permissions

Cloudflare API tokens support fine-grained scoping:

• Account level: Scope to a single account or all accounts
• Zone level: Scope to a single zone (domain) or all zones
• Permission groups: Combine multiple permissions (e.g., Workers Edit + DNS Read)

Create the narrowest token that covers your agents’ needs. For example, if agents only deploy Workers, use the “Edit Cloudflare Workers” template instead of a broad-access token.

Rate limits

Cloudflare enforces a global rate limit of 1,200 requests per 5-minute window per user. This applies across dashboard, API key, and API token usage combined. Use OneCLI rules to rate-limit agent requests if you need to stay well within this budget.

Controlling access with rules

Use OneCLI’s rules engine to control what agents can do:

• Block write operations to specific API paths (e.g., block /purge_cache for read-only agents)
• Rate limit API calls to stay within Cloudflare’s limits
• Require manual approval for destructive operations (e.g., deleting Workers or DNS records)

Rules are evaluated before credential injection, so a blocked request never touches your API token.
