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 | $0.00192 | $0.02562 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00096 | $0.01281 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00256 |
Grade A, and why
aws-networking 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 5d 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.

AWS Networking
Overview
Routes networking requests to the correct service-specific skill. Covers 7 services across DNS and content delivery, hybrid connectivity, and network security (web application firewall and DDoS protection). Other AWS networking services (VPC foundations, load balancing, endpoints, PrivateLink, API Gateway, and more) are out of scope for this router (see step 6).
Works best with the AWS MCP server — enables sandboxed execution, audit logging, and enterprise controls. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI access.
How to use this skill
- Match the user's request against the Skill Routing Table below. Match on meaning, not exact wording.
- If the request matches multiple skills, use the Cross-Service Concepts tables to determine which layer the request targets, then route to the skill that owns that layer.
- If still ambiguous, ask one clarifying question: "Are you looking to set up connectivity, or control/filter existing traffic?"
- Load the target skill: if the AWS MCP server is available, use
aws___retrieve_skill(skill_name="<skill>"); otherwise retrieve the skill document from this repository atskills/<skill>/SKILL.md. - If a request spans multiple of these skills, route to each in dependency order. When routing to an internet-facing service (
cloudfront), also route toshieldadvancedfor DDoS protection and towaffor L7 filtering (AWS WAF attaches to CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway, and AppSync), if the user has not already addressed L7 filtering and DDoS protection. When routing to a connectivity skill (directconnect,sitetositevpn,transitgateway), confirm encryption in transit is addressed (MACsec for Direct Connect, IPsec for VPN, inter-region peering encryption for Transit Gateway). When the request involves custom domains or TLS oncloudfront, note that ACM certificate provisioning is part of the implementation. When routing tocloudfrontfor a web-facing distribution, note that the target skill should address security response headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) via a CloudFront Response Headers Policy, including the managedSecurityHeadersPolicy. The target skill handles the configuration. - If the request is an AWS networking task that is not in the Skill Routing Table (for example VPC subnets or route tables, security groups, load balancers, VPC endpoints, PrivateLink, or API Gateway), tell the user that service is not available in this skill set rather than routing to the closest listed skill. This skill set does not cover every AWS networking service.
- This skill triages — it does not implement. Do not answer service-specific configuration questions from this skill alone.
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.

aws-networking is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,533 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 192 tokens to every session and 2,562 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
