datadog-metrics

datadog-metrics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 16 tokens per session (517 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for querying Datadog metrics and inspecting dashboards. Metrics are numeric measurements such as CPU use, traffic, errors, or latency collected over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find metrics, retrieve metric details, calculate values over time, list dashboards, inspect dashboard definitions, and compare performance such as utilization, errors, and latency.
Why use it?
It avoids manually opening dashboards or assembling queries when checking infrastructure and network performance.

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

datadog-metrics 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 10d 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.

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.

What it actually says

Datadog Metrics Skill

Query metrics and explore dashboards in Datadog.

Tools

Tool Description
query_metrics Execute metric queries with aggregations
list_metrics List available metrics matching a pattern
get_metric_metadata Get metadata for a specific metric
list_dashboards List all available dashboards
get_dashboard Get dashboard definition and widgets

Example Queries

Query CPU utilization for network devices
→ query_metrics(query="avg:system.cpu.user{role:network_device} by {host}", time_range="1h")

Get interface traffic metrics
→ query_metrics(query="sum:network.bytes_rcvd{*} by {interface}", time_range="4h")

List all network-related metrics
→ list_metrics(pattern="network.*")

Get a specific dashboard
→ get_dashboard(dashboard_id="abc-def-123")

Workflows

Network Performance Monitoring

  1. Query interface utilization: query_metrics(query="avg:network.bytes_sent{*} by {host,interface}")
  2. Check error rates: query_metrics(query="sum:network.errors{*} by {host}")
  3. Monitor latency percentiles: query_metrics(query="p99:network.latency{*}")
  4. Compare against SLA thresholds

Infrastructure Health Assessment

  1. List all infrastructure metrics: list_metrics(pattern="system.*")
  2. Query CPU/memory across fleet: query_metrics(query="avg:system.cpu.user{*} by {availability_zone}")
  3. Identify outliers and degradation
  4. Check dashboard for historical trends

Capacity Planning

  1. Query peak utilization: query_metrics(query="max:system.disk.used{*} by {host}", time_range="30d")
  2. Calculate growth rate
  3. Forecast exhaustion dates
  4. Generate capacity report

Prerequisites

  • DD_API_KEY Datadog API key
  • DD_APP_KEY Datadog application key
  • DD_SITE Datadog site (optional, defaults to datadoghq.com)

Server

This skill uses the datadog-mcp server via remote MCP transport.

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.
