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.
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.

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 | $0.00158 | $0.02196 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00063 | $0.00878 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00439 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00220 |
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 viauvx/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 isrw-plus-checker, nevergit. 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 theWrite/Edittools, 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.
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.

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.
