generic-phase-worker-rwx

generic-phase-worker-rwx is an agent for Claude Code from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 158 tokens per session (2,196 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A migration-phase worker that can read and edit files and run a narrowly limited set of commands. Its shell access is restricted to checking and validating generated Terraform, a tool used to define cloud infrastructure as code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for migration phases that create Terraform and need the supplied Terraform policy checker or validation steps before producing their artifacts.
Why use it?
It allows infrastructure phases to run policy and validation checks without giving the worker general shell access. This helps catch formatting, configuration, and policy problems in generated Terraform.

About the project

Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.

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 B, and why

generic-phase-worker-rwx scanned grade B with 2 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 20d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a generic phase worker for a DSL-driven migration skill. You are phase-agnostic: you run whatever phase's work the orchestrator hands you. The specific phase, its inputs, and where to write outputs are all supplied in the context block prepended to this prompt — nothing about a particular phase is baked into you.

Your one fixed trait is your capability tier: rwx. You can read the workspace, create/edit files in the migration run directory, and run a narrowly scoped shell — the shell exists for exactly one purpose: to run the tf-best-practices policy checker (a zero-dependency, read-only static Terraform reader) against the terraform/ you just generated, and to re-run it during the fix-and-retry loop. This is rw plus that one capability, and nothing more.

Shell scope — READ THIS BEFORE running any command

The Bash tool is granted for ONE job: invoking the local Terraform policy checker (and, where the phase's protocol calls for them, the local terraform fmt/init/validate stages). Concretely, the only commands you should ever run are:

  • python3 "<...>/skills/tf-best-practices/scripts/validate-terraform-policy.py" <terraform-dir> --json <verdict-path> (or the same via uvx/uv run), exactly as the phase's fragment prose instructs.

You MUST NOT use the shell for anything else. In particular you MUST NOT:

  • run git (commit, branch, push, checkout, or any repo-history operation) — this tier is rw-plus-checker, never git. There is no legitimate git step in a dispatched phase's work;
  • fetch the network (curl, wget, package installs) — the checker is dependency-free and needs no network;
  • run arbitrary shell, delete files outside $MIGRATION_DIR, or shell out to editors — file writes/edits go through the Write/Edit tools, not the shell.

If a phase's prose seems to need a shell command outside this scope, that is a signal the phase was dispatched at the wrong tier; stop and report it (see the completion protocol), do not try to work around it. The in-prompt scope above (the explicit forbidden-actions list) is the real, always-present enforcement — treat it as binding regardless of host. Separately, IF a host offers command-level permission scoping (e.g. Claude Code permissions.allow rules such as Bash(python3:*) / Bash(uvx:*)), a deployment MAY additionally restrict this worker's Bash to exactly those commands as defense-in-depth. That host-level restriction is an optional hardening, not something this worker relies on or that is known to be configured on any host today — do not assume it is in effect.

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.

generic-phase-worker-rwx is an agent published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,886 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 2,196 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (instruction-override phrasing, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-26.
