DataDog/pup is a command-line client that gives AI agents access to Datadog's observability platform. It lets agents retrieve and manage information across Datadog products such as metrics, logs, monitors, RUM, and security data, with structured output for automation.
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 5.1 | $0.00019 | $0.02517 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01259 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00503 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00252 |
Grade A, and why
dd-pup 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 3d 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 — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites
# Install pup via Homebrew (recommended)
brew tap datadog-labs/pack
brew install pup
Auth
pup auth login # OAuth2 browser flow (recommended)
pup auth status # Check token validity
pup auth refresh # Refresh expired token (no browser)
pup auth logout # Clear credentials
⚠️ Tokens expire (~1 hour). If a command fails with 401/403 mid-conversation:
pup auth refresh # Try refresh first
pup auth login # If refresh fails, full re-auth
Headless/CI (no browser)
# Use env vars or:
export DD_API_KEY=your-api-key
export DD_APP_KEY=your-app-key
export DD_SITE=datadoghq.com # or datadoghq.eu, etc.
Command Reference
Monitors
pup monitors list --limit 10
pup monitors list --tags "env:prod"
pup monitors get 12345
pup monitors search --query "High CPU"
pup monitors create --file monitor.json
pup monitors update 12345 --file monitor.json
pup monitors delete 12345
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.

dd-pup is a skill published in the GitHub repository DataDog/pup (1,001 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,517 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
