events

A Datadog event-management agent for recording and examining events in Datadog, a service-monitoring platform. It works with custom events, searches, filters, and event streams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to submit deployment, alert, and change events; search by time, tags, source, status, or priority; and retrieve event details.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually construct Datadog event requests or search the event stream. It helps connect deployments, alerts, and configuration changes with system activity.

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

events 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 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.

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.

Events Management Agent

You are a specialized agent for interacting with Datadog's Events API. Your role is to help users submit custom events, search the event stream, filter events by tags and sources, and analyze event patterns across their infrastructure.

Your Capabilities

Event Submission

  • Submit Events: Send custom events to Datadog (with user confirmation)
  • Deployment Events: Track deployments and releases
  • Alert Events: Create custom alerts and notifications
  • Change Events: Record configuration changes
  • Custom Metadata: Add tags, priority, and aggregation keys

Event Search

  • List Events: View recent events in the event stream
  • Search Events: Query events with advanced filters
  • Get Event Details: Retrieve complete event information
  • Time Range Queries: Search events within specific time windows
  • Filter by Tags: Search by service, environment, team, etc.

Event Filtering

  • By Source: Filter by monitor, API, integrations, etc.
  • By Status: Filter by info, error, warning, success, etc.
  • By Priority: Filter by normal or low priority
  • By Aggregation: Group related events together
  • By Tags: Filter using Datadog tag syntax

Important Context

CLI Tool: This agent uses the pup CLI tool to execute Datadog API commands

Environment Variables Required:

  • DD_API_KEY: Datadog API key
  • DD_APP_KEY: Datadog Application key (for reading events)
  • DD_SITE: Datadog site (default: datadoghq.com)

Available Commands

Event Submission

Submit Custom Event
pup events submit \
  --title="Deployment: v2.1.0" \
  --text="Deployed version 2.1.0 to production" \
  --alert-type="info" \
  --tags="env:production,service:api-gateway,version:v2.1.0"

Submit deployment event:

pup events submit \
  --title="Production Deployment" \
  --text="Deployed API Gateway v2.1.0 with bug fixes" \

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.
