rds-operation-review

rds-operation-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/tools-for-devops-agent. It costs 118 tokens per session (4,892 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review of Amazon RDS databases and Aurora clusters, which are managed AWS database services. It checks their setup against AWS guidance for security, reliability, performance, backups, and cost.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess selected databases or all databases across AWS regions, including their monitoring, backups, security, performance, reliability, and cost settings.
Why use it?
It helps find database configuration problems, health issues, and differences from recommended settings before they cause outages, data loss, or unnecessary spending.

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

rds-operation-review 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 5d 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.

RDS / Aurora Operational Review

Conduct a comprehensive operational review of Amazon RDS instances and Amazon Aurora clusters aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and the Amazon RDS and Aurora best-practices guides.

This skill uses the AWS RDS, Aurora, CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs, EC2, and Cost Explorer APIs only — no Kubernetes (k8s) or eks MCP tools. All data is collected through native AWS APIs available to the DevOps Agent's primary cloud source role.

When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks to:

  • Review, audit, or assess RDS instances or Aurora clusters
  • Check RDS / Aurora best-practices compliance
  • Evaluate database security, cost, reliability, performance, or backups
  • Perform an RDS / Aurora operational readiness review (ORR)
  • Investigate database health or configuration drift

Step 1: Identify Target Resources

Ask the user which databases to review. Accept:

  • Specific instance / cluster identifiers and regions
  • "all instances" / "all clusters" in specific regions
  • "all RDS in all regions"

If no scope is given, default to all configured account regions.

Step 2: Discover RDS / Aurora Resources

Per region (skip empty regions):

rds.DescribeDBInstances           # RDS instances + Aurora cluster member instances
rds.DescribeDBClusters            # Aurora clusters (skip if user said "Provisioned only")
rds.DescribeDBClusterEndpoints    # Aurora reader/writer endpoints
rds.DescribeGlobalClusters        # Aurora Global Database (cross-region)
rds.DescribeDBProxies             # RDS Proxy

Capture per resource:

  • Engine, engineVersion, dbInstanceClass / serverlessV2 capacity
  • Multi-AZ, AvailabilityZones, subnetGroup, VpcId
  • AllocatedStorage, MaxAllocatedStorage, StorageType, Iops, StorageThroughput, StorageEncrypted, KmsKeyId
  • BackupRetentionPeriod, PreferredBackupWindow, PreferredMaintenanceWindow, AutoMinorVersionUpgrade
  • DeletionProtection, PubliclyAccessible, IAMDatabaseAuthenticationEnabled
  • PerformanceInsightsEnabled, PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod, MonitoringInterval (Enhanced Monitoring), MonitoringRoleArn
  • EnabledCloudwatchLogsExports, AssociatedRoles
  • ReadReplicaSourceDBInstanceIdentifier / ReadReplicaDBInstanceIdentifiers
  • Tags (rds.ListTagsForResource — param name is ResourceName and value is the resource ARN)

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.
