About the project

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Samples is a collection of examples and tutorials for deploying and operating AI agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Developers use it to integrate agent applications built with different frameworks and language models while learning AgentCore features. The catalogue add-ons provide agent-oriented guidance for working with these samples and services.

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

benefits-advisor 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

Benefits Advisor Instructions

Use this skill when an employee asks about health, dental, vision, 401(k), or life-insurance benefits.

Required workflow

  1. Identify the benefit type in the employee's request.
  2. Call get_benefits_summary for that benefit type. Do not answer from general knowledge.
  3. If the tool reports that the benefit type is unavailable, list the available types and ask the employee to choose one.
  4. Return a concise Benefits Summary containing:
    • Benefit type
    • Eligibility
    • Employee cost
    • Coverage or employer contribution
    • Important plan details returned by the tool
  5. Clearly distinguish plan facts from general guidance, and do not invent coverage, costs, or eligibility rules.
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.
