aws-health-events

aws-health-events is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/tools-for-devops-agent. It costs 159 tokens per session (4,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for checking AWS Health events, which are notices about problems, planned changes, and account issues in Amazon Web Services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of incident investigations and root-cause analysis, or to prepare a summary of AWS Health events for an account, region, or time period.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether an AWS-side event explains an outage, slow service, errors, connection failures, or throttling.

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

aws-health-events 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 9d 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.

AWS Health Event Review

Use this skill when investigating an incident and you need to check for AWS-side service events that may be causing or contributing to the observed issue. Also use this skill when a user requests a summary report of AWS Health events over a configurable time period.

When to Use This Skill

Incident Investigation (automatic activation):

  • An active incident may be caused by an AWS service disruption or degradation.
  • You observe service degradation, elevated error rates, latency spikes, connection failures, throttling, or capacity issues.
  • You need to determine whether an AWS-side event is the root cause or a contributing factor to the current incident.
  • You want to correlate observed symptoms with known AWS Health events.

Chat Reporting (on-demand activation):

  • A user requests a health event summary or report for their account.
  • A user wants to review the health posture of their AWS environment over a specific time period.
  • A user asks about recent AWS service issues affecting their account or region.

Prerequisites

  • The account must have an AWS Business Support+, Enterprise Support, or Unified Operations support plan to access the AWS Health API.
  • The agent must have permissions to call the following IAM actions:
    • health:DescribeEvents
    • health:DescribeEventDetails
    • health:DescribeAffectedEntities
    • health:DescribeEventTypes
  • The AWS Health API is only available in the us-east-1 region. All API calls must target the us-east-1 endpoint regardless of where the affected resources are located.
  • Health event data is available for up to 90 days. Events older than 90 days cannot be retrieved via the API.

Step 1: Gather Incident Context

Before searching Health events, extract key details from the current incident:

  1. Affected AWS services — identify the service(s) experiencing issues (e.g., EC2, RDS, Lambda, ELB, ECS).
  2. Timeframe — determine when the incident started and its current duration. Use ISO 8601 timestamps.
  3. Affected resources — collect specific resource identifiers (instance IDs, ARNs, endpoint names, cluster names).
  4. Region and availability zone — identify the AWS region and, if known, the specific availability zone(s) affected.
  5. Symptoms — note the observed symptoms (latency spikes, 5xx errors, connection timeouts, throttling, capacity errors).

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.
