description	Manage Cloudflare zones, DNS records, workers, rules, firewall settings, and account resources via the Cloudflare API. Use this skill when users want to inspect DNS records, manage zones, configure workers, or update firewall rules.

Cloudflare

Work with Cloudflare from chat — manage zones, DNS records, workers, rules, firewall settings, and account resources via the Cloudflare API with API token authentication.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Cloudflare API access yourself.

Setup in 3 Steps

Step 1: Install	Step 2: Pair Account	Step 3: Connect Cloudflare

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Cloudflare again."

Quick Start

# List all zones
clawlink_call_tool --tool "cloudflare_list_zones" --params '{}'

# List DNS records in a zone
clawlink_call_tool --tool "cloudflare_list_dns_records" --params '{"zone_id": "ZONE_ID"}'

# List accounts
clawlink_call_tool --tool "cloudflare_list_accounts" --params '{}'

Authentication

All Cloudflare tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Cloudflare account.

No API token is required in chat. ClawLink stores the API token securely and injects it into every Cloudflare API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=cloudflare and connect Cloudflare.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for cloudflare in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration cloudflare

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Cloudflare.

Reconnect

If Cloudflare tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=cloudflare
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration cloudflare

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the permissions granted by the Cloudflare API token.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (delete zone, delete DNS record, delete WAF list) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.

  --params '{
    "zone_id": "ZONE_ID",
    "type": "A",
    "name": "api",
    "content": "192.0.2.1",
    "ttl": 3600

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Cloudflare is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration cloudflare to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration cloudflare.
5. If no Cloudflare tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=cloudflare.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → describe → call                              │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List zones → List DNS records → Show results      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                     │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call         │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• Zone IDs and DNS record IDs are required for all zone-scoped operations — retrieve them via list tools first.
• Pagination: use page and per_page parameters and check result_info.total_pages to iterate all pages.
• Tunnel configuration updates replace the entire configuration — fetch the current config first to avoid losing existing rules.
• WAF lists have plan-based limits (Free: 1 list, Pro/Business: 10 lists, Enterprise: 1000 lists).
• DNS record updates only modify provided fields.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration cloudflare.
Missing connection	Cloudflare is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=cloudflare.
zone_not_found	Zone does not exist or is not accessible.
dns_record_not_found	DNS record does not exist.
InvalidArgument	Invalid parameter or missing required field. Review the tool schema with clawlink_describe_tool.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly cloudflare.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
