Cloudflare · Account API Token
How an agent gets a Cloudflare · Account API Token key through KeyKeeper, what to choose on dash.cloudflare.com, and how KeyKeeper verifies it.

What the agent does
keykeeper providers show cloudflare-account
keykeeper save --provider cloudflare-account --from-clipboard --create --purpose "what this task does"
keykeeper run -c cloudflare-account -- <your command>--provider cloudflare-account fills in the credential id and the fields. The environment
variables are the ones Cloudflare's own tools read, so nothing has to be mapped.
What only you can do
What to choose
Use an account-owned token only for unattended account automation. Limit permissions/resources and set a TTL; it is distinct from a user token.
The agent is told the same thing. It opens the page for you and says what to pick; it never logs in, passes 2FA or pays on your behalf.
What KeyKeeper checks
- Before writing: the value must look like a Cloudflare · Account API Token key (starts with
cfat_, shown once when created). A wrong paste is refused before anything is stored, and the agent is told why — without the value. - After saving: Cloudflare · Account API Token offers no read-only endpoint KeyKeeper can use, so the first real call is the test.
Rotation and expiry
No universal expiry policy was confirmed for this credential type. Record the date shown by the provider, or leave it unknown. Rotate or revoke at dash.cloudflare.com.
