How to verify data residency with your AI

Connect Wasabi to your agent to audit where your data actually lives. Once connected, you can run compliance checks across all your buckets instantly.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI check where my Wasabi data is stored?

Yes. Your agent uses the Wasabi MCP to pull the physical datacenter location for any bucket you specify. This lets you confirm your storage stays within required geographic boundaries.

Compliance outcomes.

Where your data lands.

Running this task gives you clear answers for your data residency audits.

AUDIT

Location verification

The agent identifies the exact physical datacenter for your buckets. You get a clear list of where your data resides.

REPORT

Compliance mapping

Your agent compares bucket locations against your regional requirements. It flags any buckets sitting in the wrong territory.

ACTION

Human review needed

The AI identifies residency violations but won't move your data. You decide if a bucket needs to be migrated to a different region.

LOG

Audit trails

The agent provides a record of the locations it found. You can use these details to document your storage compliance.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of querying the Wasabi API so you don't have to log into the console.

  1. Identify target buckets

    Your agent looks at the bucket names you provide to prepare the request.

    get_bucket_datacenter_location

  2. Fetch datacenter info

    The agent queries the Wasabi service to find the physical location of the specified bucket.

    get_bucket_datacenter_location

  3. Compare against rules

    The agent checks the returned location against the regional constraints you defined in your prompt.

    get_bucket_datacenter_location

  4. Flag discrepancies

    The agent highlights any buckets that are stored in a location that violates your residency policy.

    get_bucket_datacenter_location

  • Check the datacenter location for my bucket named 'production-logs-us-east'.

  • List the physical locations for all my buckets to ensure they are in the EU.

  • Are any of my buckets located outside of the US?

  • Verify that the 'customer-data-archive' bucket is in the correct region.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI move my data to a different region?

    No. The agent can only read the location of your buckets. You must manually move data if it is in the wrong place.

  • 02

    Does the AI see the files inside my buckets?

    No. This tool only retrieves the datacenter location metadata for the bucket itself, not the contents of the files.

  • 03

    Can I automate a daily residency report?

    Yes. Once connected, you can ask your agent to perform these checks whenever you need them.

  • 04

    Will this work with any S3-compatible storage?

    No. This specific MCP is built for Wasabi to access its unique datacenter location data.

  • 05

    Do I need to provide my Wasabi API keys every time?

    No. You connect the Wasabi MCP once, and your agent uses those credentials for all subsequent requests.
