cloudfront

cloudfront is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 214 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for using Amazon CloudFront, AWS's service for delivering web content from locations closer to users. It covers caching, custom-domain HTTPS, origin protection, traffic observation, and related AWS services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create distributions, tune caching, configure TLS certificates, protect origins, manage multi-tenant distributions, connect CloudFront with WAF or Route 53, and review pricing options.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose and configure a delivery layer that serves content efficiently while protecting the source application and securing custom domains.

About the project

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.

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

cloudfront 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 6d 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.

Amazon CloudFront

Overview

Domain expertise for configuring Amazon CloudFront content delivery: deciding when to use CloudFront and how it fits the wider architecture, managing custom-domain certificates and multi-tenant distributions, protecting origins, securing content, and observing traffic.

This skill is a router. Each customer task maps to a procedure file under references/. Read the matching reference in full before acting, then follow its constraints and steps. The reference files are self-contained: each carries its own decision tables, constraints, procedure, and troubleshooting.

Execute commands using the AWS MCP server when connected (sandboxed execution, audit logging, observability). Fall back to the AWS CLI otherwise. CloudFront is a global service; its API calls and the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificates it uses are made in us-east-1 regardless of where the customer's application runs.

Which CloudFront task do you need?

Goal Reference
Decide whether CloudFront is the right layer, see how it integrates, create a distribution, tune caching, or choose pricing when to use CloudFront
Serve a custom domain over HTTPS, manage ACM certificates, or run many domains with a certificate per tenant managing certificates with CloudFront
Make CloudFront the only way to reach the origin (S3 OAC, VPC origins, origin mutual TLS, security groups) protecting your origins
Limit who can view content by identity, location, client certificate, or auth token securing your content
Get visibility into traffic with standard and real-time logs, and analyze them CloudFront observability
Serve multiple domains through shared configuration with per-tenant customization (SaaS, platform) multi-tenant distributions

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.
