Key takeaways · AI-distilled
Cloudflare says agents drove 48% of Wrangler use last week, up from about a quarter in March 2026, and used nearly twice as many distinct commands per day as human users.
cf is generated from Cloudflare's OpenAPI schemas by a pipeline called Forge, which expands CLI coverage from Wrangler's roughly 280 operations to more than 3,000 API operations.
JSON is cf's default output.

Configuration moves to a TypeScript file, cloudflare.config.ts. Cloudflare says some internal configs of over 5,000 lines shrank about 40% by building each environment from one shared base instead of copying env blocks.
cf uses Vite by default and still delegates to Wrangler for Workers that need esbuild, and for Rust and Python Workers. Wrangler gets 18 months of maintenance after the open beta ends.
