## Summary

**Cloudflare** introduced `cf`, a new command-line interface (CLI) designed for agentic workflows, expanding access to its entire API—over 3,000 operations—from the previous ~280 in **Wrangler**. Agents now use `cf` for tasks like deploying Workers, managing domains, and configuring policies via natural language queries and JSON-first outputs, reducing manual filtering and improving efficiency.

The tool replaces **Wrangler** for new projects and agents, with a **TypeScript-based configuration system** (`cloudflare.config.ts`) that supports type-checking and LSP integration. It defaults to **Vite** for local development, offering hot module replacement and Rust-based optimizations. Cloudflare will maintain **Wrangler** for 18 months post-beta to aid migration. The open beta is available globally via npm.

## Key points

- Cloudflare’s new `cf` CLI lets agents access all 3,000+ Cloudflare API operations via natural language and JSON outputs
- Replaces **Wrangler** for new projects, with TypeScript configs and Vite-based development for faster iteration
- Open beta available now; **Wrangler** support ends 18 months after beta concludes

## Why it matters

This shifts Cloudflare’s developer experience toward agentic automation, reducing manual CLI complexity and enabling broader API use cases for AI-driven workflows.
