    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Cloudflare Api Key data, across all 25 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Cloudflare Api Key access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Cloudflare Api Key, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Cloudflare Api Key is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Cloudflare Api Key.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Cloudflare API key or API token provided during the connection process. We store these credentials in an encrypted vault and inject them into the request headers for every call. If you use an API token, we recommend creating a scoped token with the minimum permissions required for your workflows, such as DNS edit or Zone read. This ensures that the agent can only perform the actions you have explicitly allowed in the Cloudflare dashboard. You can rotate your keys at any time in Cloudflare, and updating the key in Ceven will immediately restore functionality to your active workflows.
Yes, Ceven respects all Cloudflare API rate limits. A specific quirk to note is that the Rerun Zone Activation Check tool is heavily throttled. On Free plans, this check can only be triggered hourly, while Paygo and Enterprise users are limited to once every five minutes. If a workflow attempts to trigger this check too frequently, the agent will receive a rate limit error and will automatically queue the request for the next available window. For DNS and Ruleset updates, the limits are much higher, but the agent still employs exponential backoff to ensure stability.
Absolutely. The agent can list all zones associated with your account and then iterate through them to apply bulk changes. For example, you can tell the agent to add a specific TXT record for domain verification across every zone in your account. The agent will first call the list zones endpoint to gather all zone IDs and then execute the create DNS record action for each one. It tracks the success of each individual call and provides a summary report of which zones were updated and if any failed due to existing records.
Ruleset management is a multi step process. The agent first identifies the correct ruleset ID for your account or zone. It then fetches the current version to ensure it has the latest configuration. When you ask to add a rule, the agent creates a new version of that ruleset containing the additional rule. This versioning system allows the agent to maintain a history of changes. If a new rule causes an unexpected outage, you can prompt the agent to revert to a previous ruleset version, which it does by promoting an older version to the active state.
Yes, the agent can update the DNSSEC status for any zone you manage. It is important to remember that DNSSEC requires coordination between Cloudflare and your domain registrar. Ceven can enable DNSSEC in Cloudflare and provide you with the DS records needed for your registrar. However, the agent cannot log into your third party registrar to paste those records. Once you have updated the registrar, the agent can monitor the zone to ensure the DNSSEC chain is properly validated and active across the global network.
If a workflow attempts to create a record that already exists, the Cloudflare API will return an error. In this scenario, the Ceven agent is programmed to check if the existing record matches the desired value. If the values differ, the agent will suggest using the Overwrite DNS Record action instead. You can configure your workflow to automatically overwrite existing records or to pause and ask for human approval before making the change, ensuring that you do not accidentally disrupt live traffic during an automation run.
Yes, the agent can create and manage Zone Lockdown rules. This is a powerful feature that allows you to restrict access to specific URL patterns to a small list of trusted IP addresses. Use this when you have an admin panel or a staging environment that should not be public. The agent can dynamically update these lists. For instance, if your team uses a dynamic IP service, you can set up a workflow that updates the Cloudflare Zone Lockdown rule every time your office IP changes, keeping your site secure without manual updates.
Yes, the agent can delete a zone, but this is a destructive action. To prevent accidental deletions, the agent will always require a confirmation step before calling the delete zone endpoint. It will first pull the zone details to confirm the domain name and then ask you to explicitly verify the deletion. Once confirmed, the zone is permanently removed from your Cloudflare account. We recommend using this only for cleaning up temporary environments or decommissioning old projects that are no longer needed.
