Short answer

How do I remove incomplete multipart uploads with my AI?

Your AI uses the Wasabi MCP to scan your buckets for pending multipart uploads that never finished. It identifies these stalled transfers so you can delete them and reclaim storage space. You'll see a breakdown of the specific uploads found and how to handle them.

Where every issue lands.

Storage cleanup outcomes

The AI organizes the results of its scan into these categories.

STALLED

Identify dead uploads

The AI finds multipart uploads that are stuck in a pending state. You get a clear list of which files are consuming space without being complete.

CLEANUP

Reclaim storage space

Once you confirm the list, the AI helps you clear the fragments. This stops you from paying for data that isn't actually usable.

REPORT

Audit your buckets

The AI provides a summary of how much space is being wasted by these incomplete transfers. You can use this to justify storage optimizations.

MANUAL

Human review required

The AI won't delete anything without your permission. You decide which specific uploads are safe to remove and which might need investigation.

The workflow

What your AI does when the task arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning your Wasabi environment.

  1. Scan for pending uploads

    The AI looks through your specified Wasabi buckets to find any multipart uploads that are currently in a pending state.

    list_pending_multipart_uploads

  2. Analyze storage impact

    It checks the size and age of these stalled uploads to help you understand how much space they are occupying.

    list_pending_multipart_uploads

  3. Present findings

    The AI lists the specific upload IDs and bucket names so you can see exactly what is taking up room.

  4. Wait for confirmation

    The AI stops after presenting the list. It waits for your direct instruction before taking any destructive actions.

FAQ

Common questions about Wasabi cleanup

  • 01

    Will the AI automatically delete my files?

    No. The AI only identifies the pending uploads. It will never delete data without you explicitly telling it to do so.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete completed files?

    No. This specific task is limited to identifying and managing incomplete multipart uploads via the list_pending_multipart_uploads tool.

  • 03

    Does this work for all S3-compatible storage?

    This specific connector is built for Wasabi. It uses Wasabi-specific logic to find these stalled transfers.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which uploads are stalled?

    It uses the list_pending_multipart_uploads tool to query Wasabi for any upload processes that haven't reached a completed state.

  • 05

    Can the AI fix a failed upload instead of deleting it?

    No. The available tools are for identifying and listing pending uploads. It cannot resume or repair a broken upload.
