Works with AI assistants
Use GitHub Actions: its GitHub Actions Workflow Runs API lets you force cancel a stuck workflow run in a single step (POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/force-cancel). GitHub Actions also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- What can I do when a workflow run ignores a normal cancel request?
- Is there a way to force-stop a hung run?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Force cancel run {run_id} in {owner}/{repo}.
- Force-stop the unresponsive run {run_id} that will not cancel normally.
For your developer
POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/force-cancel in GitHub Actions Workflow Runs API. Full spec on APIs.io.
