AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Cloudflare Deploy provides a centralized framework for developers to build, host, and manage projects on Cloudflare. It covers the entire ecosystem, including serverless compute (Workers), full-stack web hosting (Pages), persistent storage (D1, R2, KV), and AI-powered agent development. The skill includes decision trees to help select the right product for specific needs, authentication guidance, and troubleshooting steps for deployment issues.

What it does

  • Provides decision trees to select the appropriate Cloudflare product for compute, storage, AI, or networking.
  • Offers guidance on authenticating with the Cloudflare platform via CLI or CI/CD.
  • Includes a comprehensive product index for quick reference to documentation.
  • Provides specific patterns and API references for building stateful AI agents using the Agents SDK.
  • Offers troubleshooting steps for network-related deployment failures.
  • Supports infrastructure-as-code integration with tools like Pulumi and Terraform.

When to use it

  • When you need to deploy, host, or publish a project to Cloudflare.
  • When you are unsure which Cloudflare service (e.g., Workers vs. Pages) best fits your application requirements.
  • When you need to build stateful, globally distributed AI agents.
  • When you encounter network errors or timeouts during the deployment process.
  • When setting up persistent storage or database solutions within the Cloudflare ecosystem.

Advantages

  • Consolidates fragmented documentation into a single, navigable resource.
  • Simplifies product selection through clear, use-case-driven decision trees.
  • Provides actionable code patterns for complex tasks like AI agent development.
  • Addresses common deployment friction points like authentication and network sandboxing.

Usage examples

“I need to deploy a full-stack web application to Cloudflare. Which service should I use?”
The agent will guide you to use Cloudflare Pages for full-stack web apps with Git-based deployments.
“How do I build an AI chat agent on Cloudflare?”
The agent will provide the Agents SDK reference, including the AIChatAgent class and examples for streaming responses and managing message history.
“My deployment is failing with a network timeout error. What should I do?”
The agent will advise you to rerun the deployment command with the sandbox_permissions=require_escalated flag to bypass network restrictions.
“How do I store relational data for my worker?”
The agent will recommend using D1 for SQLite-based relational storage or Hyperdrive for connecting to existing Postgres/MySQL databases.

Documentation by OpenAI

Cloudflare Deploy

Consolidated skill for building on the Cloudflare platform. Use decision trees below to find the right product, then load detailed references.

Prerequisites

  • When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

  • The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.

Authentication (Required Before Deploy)

Verify auth before wrangler deploy, wrangler pages deploy, or npm run deploy:

npx wrangler whoami    # Shows account if authenticated

Not authenticated? → references/wrangler/auth.md

  • Interactive/local: wrangler login (one-time OAuth)

  • CI/CD: Set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN env var

Troubleshooting

Escalated Network Access

If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use sandbox_permissions=require_escalated). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.

Example guidance to the user:

The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Cloudflare. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?

Email Routing API Reference

Worker Runtime API

Email Handler Interface
interface ExportedHandler<Env = unknown> {
  email?(message: ForwardableEmailMessage, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): void | Promise<void>;
}
ForwardableEmailMessage

Main interface for incoming emails:

interface ForwardableEmailMessage {
  readonly from: string;          // Envelope sender (e.g., "[email protected]")
  readonly to: string;             // Envelope recipient (e.g., "[email protected]")
  readonly headers: Headers;       // Web API Headers object
  readonly raw: ReadableStream;    // Raw MIME message stream
  
  setReject(reason: string): void;
  forward(rcptTo: string, headers?: Headers): Promise<void>;
}

Key Properties:

PropertyTypeDescription
fromstringEnvelope sender (MAIL FROM), not header From
tostringEnvelope recipient (RCPT TO), not header To
headersHeadersEmail headers (Subject, From, To, etc.)
rawReadableStreamRaw MIME message (consume once only)

Methods:

  • setReject(reason): Reject email with bounce message

  • forward(rcptTo, headers?): Forward to verified destination, optionally add headers

Headers Object

Standard Web API Headers interface:

// Access headers
const subject = message.headers.get("subject");
const from = message.headers.get("from");
const messageId = message.headers.get("message-id");

// Check spam score
const spamScore = parseFloat(message.headers.get("x-cf-spamh-score") || "0");
if (spamScore > 5) {
  message.setReject("Spam detected");
}
Common Headers

subject, from, to, x-cf-spamh-score (spam score), message-id (deduplication), dkim-signature (auth)

Envelope vs Header Addresses

Critical distinction:

// Envelope addresses (routing, auth checks)
message.from // "[email protected]" (actual sender)
message.to   // "[email protected]" (your address)

// Header addresses (display, user-facing)
message.headers.get("from") // "Alice <[email protected]>"
message.headers.get("to")   // "Bob <[email protected]>"

Use envelope addresses for:

  • Authentication/SPF checks

  • Routing decisions

  • Bounce handling

Use header addresses for:

  • Display to users

  • Reply-To logic

  • User-facing filtering

SendEmail Binding

Outbound email API for transactional messages.

Configuration
// wrangler.jsonc
{
  "send_email": [
    { "name": "EMAIL" }
  ]
}
TypeScript Types
interface Env {
  EMAIL: SendEmail;
}

interface SendEmail {
  send(message: EmailMessage): Promise<void>;
}

interface EmailMessage {
  from: string | { name?: string; email: string };
  to: string | { name?: string; email: string } | Array<string | { name?: string; email: string }>;
  subject: string;
  text?: string;
  html?: string;
  headers?: Headers;
  reply_to?: string | { name?: string; email: string };
}
Send Email Example
interface Env {
  EMAIL: SendEmail;
}

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> {
    await env.EMAIL.send({
      from: { name: "Acme Corp", email: "[email protected]" },
      to: [
        { name: "Alice", email: "[email protected]" },
        "[email protected]"
      ],
      subject: "Your order #12345 has shipped",
      text: "Track your package at: https://track.example.com/12345",
      html: "<p>Track your package at: <a href='https://track.example.com/12345'>View tracking</a></p>",
      reply_to: { name: "Support", email: "[email protected]" }
    });
    
    return new Response("Email sent");
  }
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
SendEmail Constraints
  • From address: Must be on verified domain (your domain with Email Routing enabled)

  • Volume limits: Transactional only, no bulk/marketing email

  • Rate limits: 100 emails/minute on Free plan, higher on Paid

  • No attachments: Use links to hosted files instead

  • No DKIM control: Cloudflare signs automatically
