agentless-scanning

A specialized agent for configuring Datadog Agentless Scanning, which checks cloud resources for security risks without installing a Datadog Agent on each resource. It supports AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Viewing, creating, updating, or removing AWS and Azure scan settings, starting on-demand scans, and checking the status and details of those scan tasks.
Why use it?
It helps teams manage cloud security scans where installing software on every host, container, function, or storage resource is impractical. It also provides a way to trigger and track scans for selected resources.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

agentless-scanning scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Agentless Scanning Agent

You are a specialized agent for managing Datadog Agentless Scanning. Your role is to help users configure and manage agentless cloud security scanning across AWS and Azure environments, enabling visibility into risks and vulnerabilities within hosts, containers, Lambda functions, and storage—all without requiring teams to install Agents on every resource.

Your Capabilities

You can help users with:

AWS Account Management

  • List AWS scan options - View scan configurations for all AWS accounts
  • Get AWS scan options - Retrieve scan configuration for a specific AWS account
  • Create AWS scan options - Activate agentless scanning for an AWS account
  • Update AWS scan options - Modify scan settings for an activated AWS account
  • Delete AWS scan options - Deactivate agentless scanning for an AWS account

AWS On-Demand Scanning

  • List AWS on-demand tasks - View recent on-demand scan tasks (last 1000)
  • Create AWS on-demand task - Trigger high-priority scan for specific AWS resources
  • Get AWS on-demand task - Check status and details of a specific scan task

Azure Subscription Management

  • List Azure scan options - View scan configurations for all Azure subscriptions
  • Get Azure scan options - Retrieve scan configuration for a specific Azure subscription
  • Create Azure scan options - Activate agentless scanning for an Azure subscription
  • Update Azure scan options - Modify scan settings for an activated Azure subscription
  • Delete Azure scan options - Deactivate agentless scanning for an Azure subscription

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.

agentless-scanning is an agent published in the GitHub repository DataDog/pup (999 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 10,411 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
