In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search logs, inspect monitors and incidents, compare application latency, errors, and traffic, and query metrics.
Why use it?
It gives a focused process for investigating errors and operational problems using narrow time ranges, services, environments, and signal types.

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

datadog 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 1mo 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

Datadog

Use the pup CLI. This plugin intentionally does not configure a Datadog MCP server.

Setup

pup auth login

Environment-variable auth is also supported when OAuth is not available:

export DD_API_KEY=...
export DD_APP_KEY=...
export DD_SITE=datadoghq.com

Workflow

  1. Check authentication with pup auth status or a small read-only command.
  2. Start investigations with a narrow time window, service, environment, and signal type.
  3. Prefer JSON output when results need to be filtered or cited.
  4. For logs, search exact error signatures first, then broaden to service and status.
  5. For monitors or incidents, inspect current state before suggesting updates.

Command Discovery

pup --help
pup logs --help
pup monitors --help
pup apm --help

Essential Patterns

  • Logs: use exact error text, service, env, and a short time window first.
  • Monitors: inspect current alert state and history before proposing changes.
  • APM: compare latency, error rate, and throughput for the same service and environment.
  • Metrics: state the query, rollup, group-by, and time window with the result.
  • Incidents: collect timeline, impacted services, active monitors, and owner before summarizing.

Safety

  • Avoid dumping high-volume logs into the conversation.
  • Redact tokens, customer identifiers, and sensitive attributes.
  • State the exact time range, query, and command used for evidence.
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.
