Overview
Go beyond simple file lookups. This agent analyzes your Amazon S3 data to answer complex questions like "Why are storage costs increasing?" or "Which files are consuming the most storage?"
**Capabilities:**
- Analyze storage usage patterns and identify optimization opportunities
- Surface access patterns and identify rarely-used files
- Compare storage costs across buckets and file types
- Identify data lifecycle issues and cleanup opportunities
- Synthesize insights from file metadata and access logs

Log retention policy isn't being enforced - 78% of files are older than 90 days (retention policy: 30 days). This accounts for $48/month in unnecessary storage costs.\n\n**Secondary Issue:** **backups-prod** has 450 GB of **duplicate backups** from failed cleanup jobs. The backup rotation script failed 3 times this month, leaving old backups in place.\n\n**Inefficiency Pattern:** 34% of files in **media-assets** haven't been accessed in 180+ days but are stored in Standard tier (should be moved to Glacier for 68% cost savings).\n\n**Recommendation:**\n1. Enforce log retention policy - delete files >30 days, potential $48/month savings\n2. Fix backup rotation script and remove duplicates, potential $18/month savings\n3. Move inactive media to Glacier, potential $12/month savings\n\n<ENTITY_ANNOTATION id=\"BUCKET-logs-archive\" title=\"Logs Archive Bucket\" integrationType=\"AMAZON_S3\" />\n\n<CTA label=\"View Storage Details\" action=\"Show detailed storage breakdown by bucket\" />\n<CTA label=\"Generate Cleanup Plan\" action=\"Create a storage optimization action plan\" />"}]
