## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_CREATE_DNS_RECORD` | Create DNS Record | Tool to create a new DNS record in a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to add a record (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) to a specified zone. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_CREATE_LOCKDOWN_RULE` | Create Zone Lockdown Rule | Tool to create a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to restrict access to specific URL patterns to defined IPs/CIDR ranges. Use after confirming zone_id. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_CREATE_RULE_IN_RULESET` | Create Rule in Ruleset | Tool to add a rule to an existing ruleset. Use when you need to append or insert a new rule in a Cloudflare ruleset. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_CREATE_RULESET` | Create Ruleset | Creates a new Cloudflare ruleset at account or zone scope. Rulesets contain rules that control traffic behavior (firewall, rate limiting, redirects, etc.). First use List Zones to get a zone_id, then specify the phase (e.g., 'http_request_firewall_custom' for WAF rules). |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_DELETE_DNS_RECORD` | Delete DNS Record | Tool to delete a DNS record. Use when you need to remove a specific DNS record from a zone after confirming both zone and record IDs. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_DELETE_DNSSEC` | Delete DNSSEC | Tool to delete DNSSEC records for a zone. Use after disabling DNSSEC at the registrar to remove DNSSEC configuration. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_DELETE_RULE_FROM_RULESET` | Delete Rule from Ruleset | Tool to delete a specific rule from a ruleset. Use when you need to remove an outdated or incorrect rule from an account or zone ruleset after confirming IDs. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_DELETE_RULESET` | Delete Ruleset | Tool to delete all versions of a ruleset. Use when you need to remove a ruleset from an account or zone after confirming no references exist. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_DELETE_ZONE` | Delete a zone | Tool to delete an existing zone. Use after confirming the zone_id to permanently remove the zone. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_CLOUDFLARE_IP_ADDRESSES` | Get Cloudflare IP Addresses | Tool to retrieve IP addresses used on the Cloudflare or JD Cloud network. Use when you need to obtain the list of IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR blocks used by Cloudflare's infrastructure or JD Cloud data centers. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_ENTRYPOINT_RULESET_VERSION` | Get Entrypoint Ruleset Version | Retrieves a specific historical version of an entry point ruleset from Cloudflare. Entry point rulesets are phase-specific and define the rules that execute during a particular phase of request/response processing. This tool fetches a specific version, allowing you to view rules as they existed at a particular point in time. Use cases: - Audit historical rule configurations - Compare rule changes between versions - Rollback analysis (view what rules looked like before a change) - Debug issues by examining past ruleset states Prerequisites: - Requires a valid account_id or zone_id (use List Zones to get zone IDs) - Requires knowing the ruleset phase (e.g., 'http_request_firewall_custom') - Requires knowing the version number to fetch |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_LOCKDOWN_RULE` | Get Lockdown Rule | Tool to get a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to fetch details of a specific lockdown rule by its ID within a Cloudflare zone. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_REGIONAL_TIERED_CACHE` | Get Regional Tiered Cache | Tool to get the regional tiered cache setting for a zone. Use when you need to verify if regional tiered cache is enabled for performance optimization after zone activation. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_RULESET` | Get Ruleset | Tool to fetch the latest version of a ruleset by ID. Use after you have the ruleset scope and ID. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_GET_ZONE_DETAILS` | Get Zone Details | Tool to get details for a specific zone. Use when you need detailed zone metadata by ID. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_LIST_DNS_RECORDS` | List DNS Records | List, search, sort, and filter DNS records for a Cloudflare zone. Use this tool to retrieve DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) for a zone. Supports filtering by record type, name, content, and proxy status. Results are paginated; use page and per_page parameters for large record sets. Requires a valid zone_id which can be obtained from the List Zones action. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_LIST_ZONES` | List Cloudflare Zones | Tool to list, search, sort, and filter Cloudflare zones. Use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of zones available to the authenticated user. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_OVERWRITE_DNS_RECORD` | Overwrite DNS Record | Tool to completely overwrite a DNS record. Use when you need to replace all record details after confirming record type and name. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_RERUN_ZONE_ACTIVATION_CHECK` | Rerun Zone Activation Check | Triggers a new activation check for a zone with 'pending' status. Use this after creating a zone or updating nameservers to verify that DNS propagation is complete and the zone can be activated. Rate limits apply: once every 5 minutes for paid plans (paygo/Enterprise) or once per hour for Free plans. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPDATE_DNSSEC_STATUS` | Update DNSSEC Status | Tool to update DNSSEC configuration for a zone. Use when you need to enable or disable DNSSEC or adjust DNSSEC options after confirming the zone ID. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPDATE_LOCKDOWN_RULE` | Update Lockdown Rule | Tool to update a zone lockdown rule. Use when you need to modify the IP or URL settings of an existing Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the rule exists. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPDATE_RULE_IN_RULESET` | Update Rule in Ruleset | Tool to update a specific rule in a ruleset. Use when you need to modify a rule's configuration or reorder it after reviewing its current settings. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPDATE_RULESET` | Update Ruleset | Update a Cloudflare ruleset, creating a new version. Use this to modify ruleset description, name, or rules. IMPORTANT: When updating rules, you must include ALL rules you want to keep - any rules not included will be removed. Cannot modify managed rulesets directly - use overrides instead. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPDATE_ZONE` | Update Cloudflare Zone | Tool to edit a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to update a single zone property at a time. Ensure only one of paused, type, or vanity_name_servers is provided per call. |
| `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_UPLOAD_FILE_TO_S3` | Upload File to S3 | Tool to upload arbitrary file content to temporary storage. Use when you need to stage files for actions requiring FileUploadable. |

                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
