aws

An autonomous security-testing agent for Amazon Web Services, a cloud platform used to run applications and store data. It examines AWS services and account settings through connected tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test IAM and temporary credentials, storage, compute, containers, APIs, databases, secrets, identity services, and infrastructure configurations.
Why use it?
It helps investigate security weaknesses across many AWS resources without checking each service manually.

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.

Security

Grade D, and why

aws scanned grade D with 4 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 yesterday.

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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

by VersionId, extract the credentials, and identify the owning Account ID.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

.aws/credentials or terraform state with keys). Absence of other-cloud markers

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Use the aws CLI (already in the toolbox), curl for metadata/STS, and jq.

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.

aws is an agent published in the GitHub repository ASCIT31/Dark-Moon (878 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 6,572 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 4 findings (harvests environment variables, reaches for credential files, cloud metadata endpoint). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
