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-cli 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.

A CLI tool for AI agents to debug and triage using Datadog logs and metrics.

Required Reading

You MUST read the relevant reference docs before using any command:

Setup (최초 1회)

이 스킬은 config.json에 설정이 필요합니다.

  1. config.json을 읽는다 (skills/datadog-cli/config.json 또는 현재 CLI의 글로벌 스킬 경로)
  2. 빈 필드가 있으면 현재 CLI의 질문 방식으로 사용자에게 질문한다
  3. 답변을 config.json에 저장한다
  4. 이후 실행 시에는 config.json에서 자동으로 읽는다
항목 설명 예시
dd_site Datadog 사이트 도메인 datadoghq.com / datadoghq.eu
default_service 기본 서비스명 (쿼리 자동완성에 사용) api-server
default_env 기본 환경 production / staging
log_index 기본 로그 인덱스 main

Setup 로직:

config.json 읽기
  ├─ dd_site가 기본값(datadoghq.com)이면 → "Datadog 사이트를 확인해주세요 (EU 사용자: datadoghq.eu, 맞으면 Enter)"
  ├─ default_service 비어있음? → "주로 조회할 서비스명을 입력해주세요 (예: api-server, 건너뛰려면 Enter)"
  ├─ default_env 비어있음? → "기본 환경을 입력해주세요 (예: production, staging)"
  └─ 답변 수집 후 config.json에 저장 → 이후 자동 사용

모든 필드가 채워져 있으면 이 단계를 건너뜁니다. config.json의 dd_site 값은 --site 플래그로 자동 주입됩니다.


Setup

Environment Variables (Required)

export DD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export DD_APP_KEY="your-app-key"

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.
