I wish there were CLI preview command when making changes in Cloudflare.

I have few domains on Cloudflare and when making some changes, I wish there were a way to apply the same changes to multiple domains for consistency.

CLI preview for UI action will make it possible.

Oh yes to this! I spent yesterday morning working this out when it smacked me in the face

I’ve used a lot of cloudflare functionality with Claude and their API. Worked very good

I'm happy that there will be more tooling, but the reason for that (and the target audience) should not be ai agents. It should be a good experience for humans!

Tools should be tested and quality assured. Something that was utterly missing for cloudflare's unusable v5 terraform provider. Quality over quantity with a ux that has humans in mind!

Agreed that the current Terraform provider is shockingly bad. It’s changed my estimation of Cloudflare’s technical competence, drastically. The automated migration from v4 still doesn’t work and it’s been, what, nearly a year since v5 was released? (This is not to mention I’ve never used a Terraform provider that made me run external migration tools in the first place.)

Making a good experience for AI agents also makes a good experience for the humans that are tasked with the management of their agents.

Exactly! Number of turns, average tokens to achieve a task using your CLI, as well as average number of characters being returned per CLI command alongside other metrics: all important to both users and agents! I am working on allowing to accurately capture this at www.cliwatch.com! Feel free to request an example eval suite for a list of tasks you want to achieve with your CLI

Its so depressing that it took widespread LLM psychosis to finally get company leadership to invest in actual CLI tooling.

No, the customers never mattered but the mythical "LLM agent" is vitally important to cater too.

Please call it flare.

I was the original author of the cloudflare-go library (which I worked on in my spare time while working at Cloudflare), and I included a `flarectl` command with it, but sadly it didn't get much traction :-(

This, but for Bunny DNS, so I can get closer to 100% European clouds. :)

Complete CLI coverage is so great to see.
