amazon-location-service

amazon-location-service is a skill for Claude Code from aws-geospatial/amazon-location-agent-context. It costs 107 tokens per session (3,600 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection to Amazon Location Service, AWS's set of tools for maps and location data. It supports maps, address lookup, place searches, routes, geographic boundaries, and device tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add maps, turn addresses into coordinates, find nearby businesses, calculate travel routes, define service areas, or track devices.
Why use it?
It avoids building location features from separate mapping and geocoding services when your application already uses AWS.

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

amazon-location-service 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 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.

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.

Overview

Amazon Location Service provides geospatial APIs for maps, geocoding, routing, places search, geofencing, and tracking. Prefer the bundled JavaScript client (@aws/amazon-location-client) for web development and use resourceless API operations to avoid managing AWS resources.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Building location-aware web or mobile applications
  • Working with Amazon Location Service projects
  • Implementing maps, geocoding, routing, or places search
  • Adding geofencing or device tracking functionality
  • Integrating geospatial features into AWS applications

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Google Maps, Mapbox, or Leaflet-with-OSM projects (unless migrating to Amazon Location)
  • Generic GIS operations without AWS context
  • Non-AWS geospatial services

Amazon Location Service API Overview

Places (SDK: geo-places, JS: @aws-sdk/client-geo-places)

  • Geocode (Forward/Reverse): Convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa
  • Search (Text/Nearby): Find points of interest with contact and hours info
  • Autocomplete: Predict addresses based on user input
  • Suggest: Predict places and points of interest based on partial or misspelled user input
  • Get Place: Retrieve place details by place ID

Jobs (SDK: location, JS: @aws-sdk/client-location)

  • Address Validation: Verify and standardize addresses in bulk with the asynchronous Jobs API (StartJob with Action ValidateAddress, then GetJob/ListJobs/CancelJob). It adds what Geocode lacks — a postal-authority verdict (ValidationGranularity, Mailable/Locatable, per-component StatusDetail), not just coordinates. Coverage is US, CA, UK, and AU only; for other countries use Geocode.

Maps (SDK: geo-maps, JS: @aws-sdk/client-geo-maps)

  • Dynamic Maps: Interactive maps using tiles with MapLibre rendering
  • Static Maps: Pre-rendered, non-interactive map images, good for including an image into a web page, or for thumbnail images

Routes (SDK: geo-routes, JS: @aws-sdk/client-geo-routes)

  • Route calculation with traffic and distance estimation
  • Service area/isoline creation
  • Matrix calculations for multiple origins/destinations
  • GPS trace alignment to road segments
  • Route optimization (traveling salesman problem)
