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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00054 | $0.00271 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00135 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00054 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
connecting-lambda-to-dynamodb 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.
What it actually says
Connecting Lambda to DynamoDB
Overview
Domain expertise for connecting AWS Lambda functions to DynamoDB tables, including IAM execution role creation, function deployment, DynamoDB stream configuration, and event source mapping setup.
Connect a Lambda function to DynamoDB
To set up end-to-end Lambda-DynamoDB integration with IAM roles, streams, and event source mapping, follow the procedure exactly. See Lambda-DynamoDB connection procedure.
Troubleshooting
Lambda function not triggering
Verify the event source mapping is active, DynamoDB streams are enabled with the correct view type, and the execution role has proper permissions. See the full procedure for details.
Permission denied errors
Check the IAM role has AWSLambdaDynamoDBExecutionRole attached and the trust
policy allows Lambda to assume it.
Function timeout issues
Increase the timeout setting or adjust the batch size in the event source mapping.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

connecting-lambda-to-dynamodb is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,569 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 271 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
