deploying-custom-domain-rest-api

deploying-custom-domain-rest-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 100 tokens per session (4,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment guide for putting a Lambda-backed REST API behind a custom web address, such as api.example.com. It also sets up a certificate for encrypted HTTPS connections, a request-checking authorizer, and Route 53 DNS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy a Regional API Gateway REST API with a Lambda backend, a Lambda authorizer, an ACM TLS certificate, a custom domain, base-path mapping, and a Route 53 alias record.
Why use it?
It brings together the separate AWS steps needed for a public API domain, secure connections, request authorization, and DNS, reducing configuration mistakes.

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

deploying-custom-domain-rest-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/authorizer.mjs, scripts/example_function.mjs, scripts/validate.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Custom Domain REST API with Lambda and Request Authorizer

Overview

This SOP deploys a REST API with a Regional custom domain name, a Lambda backend function, and a request-based Lambda authorizer. It handles ACM certificate provisioning, IAM role creation, Lambda function deployment, API Gateway REST API creation with a custom authorizer, custom domain configuration, base path mapping, and Route 53 DNS setup.

The architecture includes:

  • An API Gateway REST API with an endpoint type of REGIONAL
  • A request-based Lambda authorizer that validates headers, query string parameters, and stage variables
  • A Lambda backend function at GET /example
  • A custom domain name with TLS 1.2
  • A base path mapping connecting the custom domain to the API stage
  • A Route 53 A-alias record pointing the custom domain to the API Gateway Regional endpoint

Important: This SOP uses Regional endpoints. If the user requests a private endpoint, inform them that this skill covers Regional endpoints only. Private endpoints require VPC endpoint configuration.

Parameters

  • custom_domain_name (required): Fully qualified domain name for the API (e.g., api.example.com)
  • region (required): AWS Region for all resources. The ACM certificate must be in this same Region for Regional endpoints
  • hosted_zone_id (required): Route 53 hosted zone ID for the domain
  • acm_certificate_arn (optional): ARN of an existing ACM certificate covering the custom domain. If not provided, Step 2 creates one
  • stage_name (optional, default: "dev"): API Gateway stage name

Constraints for parameter acquisition:

  • You MUST ask for all required parameters upfront in a single prompt rather than one at a time
  • You MUST support multiple input methods (direct input, file path, URL)
  • You MUST confirm successful acquisition of all parameters before proceeding
  • You MUST inform the user that this skill uses hardcoded demo authorization values (headerValue1, queryValue1, stageValue1) that are NOT suitable for production. For production, use AWS Secrets Manager or Systems Manager Parameter Store to manage authorization credentials. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/intro.html
  • You MUST validate that custom_domain_name is a valid FQDN

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.
