datadog-cli

datadog-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davila7/claude-code-templates. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,007 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for investigating Datadog, a service that collects application logs, performance measurements, and request traces. It can search and stream logs, query metrics, follow traces, summarize errors, and manage dashboards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search or follow logs, inspect activity around a time, trace requests across services, query time-series metrics, group recurring log messages, compare periods, and review dashboards.
Why use it?
It brings production troubleshooting into the command line instead of requiring separate searches through Datadog's web interface. This helps connect errors, logs, metrics, and request activity during an incident.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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.

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.
