Automated Content Cleanup via MCP Server

The `batch_delete_files` action lets Cascade permanently remove multiple files in one go. It's irreversible, so use it only when you know the full scope of what needs to go. Don't worry about manual cleanup steps. Windsurf reads your goal, figures out which file groups need purging, and executes the removal sequence for you.

Get File Details with Windsurf

Need technical metadata on a specific asset? Use `get_file_details` to pull all the specs on an Uploadcare file. You get dimensions, formats, and other critical info instantly. This is great for validating assets before building anything. It tells you exactly what's stored and how it behaves when your agent needs to process it.

List Files with Windsurf

Start by running `list_files` whenever you need an inventory of everything in the project. You can handle large datasets because this tool supports pagination via limits. Windsurf uses this list to map out dependencies, checking which files are available and where they sit within your overall Uploadcare structure.
