Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/cloudflare/zones/{zone}/purge`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_cloudflare_zones_by_zone_purge`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Drops a zone's Cloudflare edge cache — either the whole zone (purge_everything) or exactly the listed file URLs. Requires org admin.

Purging is the one zone-scoped WRITE this plane owns. It is not DNS — no record changes — so it does not belong on /v1/dns, and it is not a connection, so it does not belong on the integrations plane. It is a cache operation on a zone, which is what this asset plane is for. It takes the admin gate because dropping a zone's cache sends every subsequent request to the origin: on a site fronting a small origin that is a self-inflicted load spike, so it is a change, not a look.

Exactly one selector is required. Cloudflare treats a body with neither as a no-op and answers 200, which reads as "purged" to a caller that never purged anything — the failure we refuse to pass through.

Request

4 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`zone`	path	string	yes	Zone is the 32-hex Cloudflare zone id, from the path.
`files`	body	string[]	—	Files purges exactly the listed URLs — at most 30, Cloudflare's per-request cap.
`purge_everything`	body	boolean	—	Everything drops the zone's entire edge cache.
`zone`	body	string	—	Zone is the 32-hex Cloudflare zone id, from the path.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`		ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 1 field.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`(body)`	body	any	yes

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches cloudflare through the cloudflare tool, which names its 29 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_cloudflare_d1_databases"
         }
       }
     }'
