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.

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 | $0.00184 | $0.03295 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00092 | $0.01648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00659 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00330 |
Grade A, and why
querying-aws-cloudwatch 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.

Query AWS CloudWatch System Tables
Overview
Works best with the AWS MCP server for sandboxed execution and audit logging. All commands below use the AWS CLI and work in any environment with configured AWS credentials.
The CloudWatch Logs S3 Tables integration exports log data as Apache Iceberg tables in the AWS-managed aws-cloudwatch table bucket. This enables SQL analysis via Amazon Athena and correlation of log data with non-CloudWatch data (S3 metadata, business tables, etc.). Available at no additional storage charge beyond CloudWatch ingestion pricing.
Decision Tree
| User intent | Use this skill? | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Run SQL across large volumes of log data | Yes | — |
| Correlate logs with S3 metadata or other tables | Yes — join across catalogs | — |
| Quick log search / pattern matching | No | CloudWatch Logs Insights (faster for ad-hoc) |
| Real-time log streaming/tailing | No | CloudWatch Logs console or logs filter-log-events |
| Set up alarms on log patterns | No | CloudWatch Metric Filters / Alarms |
| Query historical logs before integration was enabled | No | CloudWatch Logs (no backfill in S3 Tables) |
Supported Data Sources
The following data sources are available through the S3 Tables integration. Each data source has a namespace pattern used in SQL queries. Not all AWS vended data sources may be available in all Regions; check the CloudWatch console Data Sources tab for current availability.

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.

querying-aws-cloudwatch 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 184 tokens to every session and 3,295 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
