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

setting-up-cloudtrail-multi-region 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

Setting Up CloudTrail Multi-Region

Overview

Domain expertise for enabling AWS CloudTrail across all regions to capture comprehensive API activity logs and configuring CloudWatch Logs Insights for security monitoring, compliance auditing, and operational analysis.

Set up a multi-region trail

To create a centralized multi-region CloudTrail trail with S3 storage, CloudWatch Logs integration, and log analysis, follow the procedure exactly. See CloudTrail multi-region setup procedure.

Troubleshooting

S3 bucket already exists

Choose a different globally unique name, or add a timestamp or organization identifier.

Permission denied errors

Verify your identity with aws sts get-caller-identity. Ensure your user/role has required actions attached. Do NOT use *FullAccess managed policies.

Trail not logging

Verify IAM role permissions, check S3 bucket policy allows CloudTrail access, and ensure the trail is started with start-logging.

Missing events in CloudWatch

Allow 5-15 minutes for initial log delivery. Verify the CloudWatch Logs role ARN is correct and the log group exists in the same region as the trail.

Opt-in region events not appearing

This is normal — events from opt-in regions may take several hours. Wait up to 24 hours before investigating further.

Files

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.

Changes

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.
