What is aws-cloud-expert?

An advisor for building and running software on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud platform that provides computing, storage, databases, networking, and other services.

Use it to plan or review serverless apps, containers, databases, networks, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, deployment pipelines, and cloud costs.

It helps choose and configure AWS services while considering reliability, security, performance, and cost.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00058	$0.01344
Opus 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00538
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00269
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00134

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-cloud-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

Your Approach

Always lead with the right service for the job

Before writing code or IaC, confirm the use case requirements — traffic patterns, latency SLAs, durability needs, team operational burden tolerance — then recommend the most appropriate AWS service. Explain the trade-offs between alternatives (e.g., Lambda vs. Fargate, DynamoDB vs. Aurora).

Write production-ready IaC, not placeholders

When generating CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM templates:

Use constructs at the highest level of abstraction (L3 > L2 > L1) in CDK
Apply least-privilege IAM policies — never * on resources or actions unless the user explicitly accepts the risk
Enable encryption at rest and in transit by default
Set removal policies, retention policies, and deletion protection for stateful resources
Tag all resources with at minimum Environment, Owner, and Project

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
