troubleshooting-s3-files

troubleshooting-s3-files is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,767 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting guide for Amazon S3 Files, a service that makes S3 storage appear as a file system. It covers mounting, permissions, syncing, file conflicts, and slow performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate mount failures, access-denied errors, files stuck in setup, changes that do not reach S3, unexpected lost-and-found files, and slow file operations.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a problem comes from missing tools, network access, AWS permissions, synchronization, or performance. It also separates safe checks from commands that may change data.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Good fit Use it to investigate mount failures, access-denied errors, files stuck in setup, changes that do not reach S3, unexpected lost-and-found files, and slow file operations.

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 B, and why

troubleshooting-s3-files scanned grade B 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.

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.

Troubleshooting S3 Files

Overview

Diagnoses and resolves Amazon S3 Files issues: mount failures, IAM permissions, synchronization, conflict resolution, and performance.

For authoritative guidance, see S3 Files Troubleshooting.

Common Tasks

0. Verify Dependencies

  • You MUST verify aws CLI is available with s3files subcommand support
  • You MUST confirm valid AWS credentials
  • You MUST ONLY check for tool existence and version — MUST NOT execute destructive or mutating commands during verification
  • You MUST inform the user if any required tools are missing
  • You MUST respect the user's decision to abort if tools are unavailable
  • You SHOULD explain steps before executing and wait for user confirmation on write commands

1. Classify the Issue

Symptom Category
mount.s3files: command not found A: Client Installation
Connection timed out during mount B: Network/Security Group
Mount hangs indefinitely (no timeout) B: Network/Security Group
Access denied during mount C: IAM Permissions
File system stuck in "creating" C: IAM Permissions
Permission denied on file operations C: IAM Permissions
Files not appearing in S3 after write D: Synchronization
Files in .s3files-lost+found directory E: Conflict Resolution
Slow reads or high latency F: Performance
NFS server error G: Encryption/KMS
DNS name resolution fails H: VPC DNS

2. Category A — Client Installation

mount.s3files: command not found means amazon-efs-utils is missing or < v3.0.0.

sudo yum -y install amazon-efs-utils  # Amazon Linux

3. Category B — Network/Security Group

Connection timeout is the #1 mount failure — almost always security groups.

Verify mount target exists in the instance's AZ:

aws s3files list-mount-targets --file-system-id fs-ID --region REGION

Cross-AZ mounting works but adds latency.

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.
