List all DNS records for a zone, with optional filters for record name and type.

get_dns_record

Get detailed information about a specific DNS record by ID.

create_dns_record

Create a new DNS record with specified type, name, and content. SRV and CAA records accept a structured data object instead of a content string.

Delete a DNS record by ID.

export_dns_zone

Export all DNS records for a zone as a JSON array. Useful for backups and bulk operations.

Supported DNS Record Types

• A (IPv4 address)

• AAAA (IPv6 address)

• CNAME (Canonical name)

• MX (Mail exchange)

• TXT (Text)

• NS (Name server)

• SRV (Service)

• CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization)

• PTR (Pointer)

Security

• API tokens are never logged or exposed

• DNS record content is treated as untrusted external data to guard against prompt injection

• Record IDs are validated against Cloudflare's expected format before use

• API error details are sanitized before being returned to the calling agent

• Uses official Cloudflare API with secure authentication

• Supports scoped API tokens for minimal permissions
