dd-audit

dd-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadog-labs/agent-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,045 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for investigating Datadog Audit Trail records, which log user and system activity such as configuration changes, access, deletions, and AI tool calls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find who changed something, investigate possible API-key compromise, explain usage spikes, gather SOC 2 or PCI evidence, and audit AI activity.
Why use it?
It helps connect an observed change, suspicious key activity, cost increase, or audit request to the events that caused it.

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

dd-audit 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.

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.
