running-release-tests

running-release-tests is a skill for Claude Code from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 91 tokens per session (2,053 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Cloud based release testing for web interfaces and API endpoints, using a saved test profile with the target, test type, user roles, and login details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Validating web app workflows, testing API endpoints from an OpenAPI description, and running user acceptance tests with predefined settings.
Why use it?
It checks complete user journeys and API behavior without manually repeating each step. It helps find broken features and regressions before release.

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

running-release-tests 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Testing

AgentSpace routing (SigV4 only): If list_agent_spaces is available in your tool list and the multi-space orchestration skill has NOT been invoked yet this session, invoke it first to determine which agent_space_id to use. Then pass agent_space_id on all tool calls below. For bearer token auth this is unnecessary — the token is already scoped to one space.

Run automated release testing in the cloud via the AWS DevOps Agent's Release Testing Agent. Supports UI testing (browser-based) and API testing (OpenAPI spec-based). Uses pre-existing test profiles that define target URL, agent type, personas, and credentials.

Input is a test profile — the test profile already contains the target URL, agent type (UI or API), test personas, and credentials. Do NOT ask the user for a URL directly; the URL is defined in the test profile.

Prerequisites

  • A pre-existing test profile (Knowledge Item ID like ki-12345) created from the AWS DevOps Agent console

Gathering test parameters

Before starting any workflow, you MUST gather the following parameters. Do NOT proceed to job creation until answered.

Step 1 — Test profile (required)

Ask the user which test profile to use. The test profile already contains the target URL, agent type (UI or API), test personas, and credentials configuration — these do NOT need to be gathered separately.

Note: A pre-existing test profile is a prerequisite. Test profiles are created using the AWS DevOps Agent console or API, not through this tool. If the user asks whether one can be created here, inform them it must already exist.

Step 2 — Test requirement (optional)

If the user has not already mentioned a test focus, ask:

"Do you have a specific test requirement or focus area? If not, I'll run a full exploratory test."

Wait for the user's response. If they provide one, use it as the test_requirement. If they say no or skip, proceed without it.

IMPORTANT: You MUST wait for the user to respond before proceeding to job creation.

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.

running-release-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,539 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 2,053 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
