Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01503 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00751 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00301 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00150 |
Grade A, and why
ddconfig 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Datadog MCP Server
The id of the Datadog MCP Server referenced on this document is plugin:datadog:mcp. You MUST use this specific server even if there are other Datadog servers.
Shared reference
This is a hard gate, not a suggestion. You MUST actually read references/mcp-settings.md before proceeding and writing any user-facing text, asking any question, or performing any file edit suggested by this skill — even if you believe you already know its contents from a prior turn or a prior session. Do not answer from memory of Datadog site codes, domains, or file paths; the tables and path rules in that file are the only authoritative source, and they can differ from your general knowledge or from what you've seen in other contexts.
The references/mcp-settings.md file contains the datadog-server-state check, registration file location, editing rules, and site-to-domain mapping used by the flows below.
Entry flow
Check the datadog-server-state (see mcp-settings.md). Use the datadog://mcp/whoami resource on the plugin's Datadog MCP server as the MCP call (do NOT use any other Datadog MCP server). Do not output anything until the datadog-server-state and resource content are available, and proceed based on the results:
- datadog-server-state=working and valid content — without any preamble, immediately show the user their current connection (from
whoami): user name and email, organization name, and site (thedd_sitevalue). Then let the user choose between using a different Datadog MCP domain or site or switching to a different Datadog organization. - datadog-server-state=not-setup — without any preamble, tell the user the plugin is not set up and instruct them to run
/ddsetup, and stop. - datadog-server-state=not-working or not valid content — without any preamble, tell the user the server is configured but not working and go to the Troubleshooting Flow.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ddconfig is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadog-labs/claude-code-plugin (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,503 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
