konnect-event-gateway

konnect-event-gateway is a skill for Claude Code from Kong/ai-marketplace. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting workflow for Kong Konnect Event Gateway, which handles event requests through listeners, hostnames, virtual clusters, backend clusters, authentication, and policies. It follows a request through those parts in order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect listeners, hostname mappings, virtual and backend clusters, authentication, policy decisions, and the request path from client to backend.
Why use it?
It helps locate the exact step where an Event Gateway request fails. It avoids applying assumptions from standard API gateways to this event-specific routing model.

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

konnect-event-gateway 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 12d 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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Event Gateway operator workflow

Goal

Troubleshoot Event Gateway using its own entity model instead of forcing it into standard gateway assumptions.

Default to following the request path end to end: client -> listener -> virtual cluster -> backend cluster -> policy and auth

Own the diagnosis of the failing Event Gateway hop. Hand off implementation or non-Event-Gateway platform problems once that hop is clear.

Tool Selection

  • Use the shared kong-konnect MCP server first for live Event Gateway inspection.
  • Use kongctl-query for read-only resource checks and concise summaries where the CLI surface is available.
  • Preserve the repository's chosen declarative toolchain when Event Gateway resources need to change. Prefer kongctl-declarative for kongctl YAML and terraform-konnect when the required Event Gateway resources are already managed in HCL.
  • Hand off early to konnect-gateway-triage when the blocker is generic control-plane, data-plane, or rollout health rather than Event Gateway path semantics.
  • If live Konnect state matters and kong-konnect MCP is not connected, say so early and continue with CLI or user-provided artifacts.

Do not reuse generic gateway triage blindly. Event Gateway deserves a dedicated inspection order because the operator objects differ.

References To Load

Load only the reference file that matches the active branch:

  • references/event-path-map.md
    • Load when the operator only has a symptom and you need to map the failing hop across listener, virtual cluster, backend cluster, auth, and policy.
  • references/listener-and-hostname-mapping.md
    • Load when the likely issue is listener reachability, hostname mapping, TLS, or protocol assumptions.
  • references/cluster-routing-boundaries.md
    • Load when virtual-cluster to backend-cluster routing intent is the hard part.
  • references/auth-and-policy-order.md
    • Load when clients connect but get denied, rewritten, or otherwise fail after reachability is already proven.

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.
