How to audit Scaleway resources with your AI

Connect your agent to Scaleway to pull real-time data on your infrastructure. Once connected, you can query your entire fleet of virtual machines through a single chat interface.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see all my active Scaleway VMs?

Your agent calls the Scaleway API to scan all availability zones and returns a complete list of running instances. You get a clear view of your active compute resources without logging into the web console. This breakdown shows how your agent handles the discovery process.

The results.

Where your resource data lands.

The AI processes the raw API data into these specific outcomes.

INVENTORY

Complete VM list

The agent pulls every active instance from your account. You get a clean list of names, IDs, and statuses.

LOCATION

Zone distribution

The AI identifies which availability zones your machines live in. This helps you spot imbalances in your deployment.

REPORT

Audit-ready summaries

Your agent organizes the instance data into a readable format. You can then ask for specific counts or filtered views.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI only reads and lists data. You must manually log in to the Scaleway console if you need to delete or resize an instance.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of communicating with the Scaleway API.

  1. Accessing the API

    Your agent establishes a secure connection to your Scaleway environment to begin the scan.

    list_instances

  2. Scanning zones

    The agent iterates through your availability zones to ensure no instance is missed.

    list_instances

  3. Filtering status

    The agent separates active, running machines from those that are stopped or terminated.

    list_instances

  4. Formatting output

    The agent translates the raw JSON response into a plain text list for your chat window.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can my AI delete a Scaleway instance?

    No. This connector only has the ability to list instances. You must use the Scaleway console to perform any destructive actions.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my billing information?

    No. The agent only accesses the data provided by the list_instances tool, which is limited to compute resource metadata.

  • 03

    Can I ask for instances in a specific zone?

    Yes. Once the agent has listed the instances, you can ask it to filter that list by a specific availability zone.

  • 04

    Will this work with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the size of my VMs?

    No. The agent cannot modify, resize, or stop your virtual machines.
