Short answer

How can I automate my CDN cache refreshes using AI?

You tell your AI which URLs need updating, and it triggers the refresh through Qiniu Cloud. It can also pull bandwidth data and list your bucket domains to keep your delivery on track. You get direct control over your edge cache without touching the console.

Where every action lands.

The outcomes of your requests

Your AI translates your intent into specific Qiniu Cloud operations.

CACHE

Fresh content delivery

The AI clears specific paths or files from the edge. Your users see updated assets immediately after the command runs.

TRAFFIC

Bandwidth oversight

Your agent pulls real-time usage stats. You get a clear picture of how much data your CDN is moving.

ASSETS

Domain management

The AI identifies your active bucket domains. This helps you verify exactly which assets are being served.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide when a refresh is necessary. The AI executes the command, but you maintain the final say on content deployment.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the Qiniu Cloud API.

  1. Identify targets

    The AI looks up your active domains to ensure it targets the right content. This provides the context needed for subsequent commands.

    get_bucket_domains

  2. Clear the cache

    Once you specify the files or paths, the AI sends the instruction to purge them from the CDN edge.

    refresh_cdn_urls

  3. Check usage

    The AI pulls the latest bandwidth metrics to confirm how the refresh or traffic spikes are affecting your delivery.

    get_cdn_bandwidth

  4. Report status

    The agent summarizes the results of the refresh and the current bandwidth state in your chat window.

    get_cdn_bandwidth

    No. The AI only performs actions when you specifically ask it to via a prompt.

  • 03

    Can I use this to upload new files to my buckets?

    No. This Connector is designed for cache management and bandwidth monitoring, not for file uploads or storage management.
