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 C, and why

awsclaw-general scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Awsclaw General

Awsclaw is a VS Code extension that provides AI-assisted AWS management capabilities. It allows users to interact with AWS services using natural language prompts directly within VS Code.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks how to connect to AWS or configure credentials
  • Wants to switch AWS profiles, regions, or endpoints
  • Needs to test AWS connectivity
  • Asks about awsclaw extension capabilities or features
  • Wants to perform local file operations (read, write, zip)
  • Needs to understand cross-service relationships (e.g., which services produce CloudWatch logs)
  • Asks about safety, permissions, or readonly mode
  • Wants to manage session settings

Extension Capabilities

Natural Language AWS Management

  • Ask questions about your AWS resources in plain English
  • Execute AWS API calls through chat prompts
  • Automatic pagination handling with "Load More" in chat

UI Features

  • S3 Explorer: Interactive bucket browser via OpenS3Explorer command
  • CloudWatch Log Viewer: Interactive log viewer via OpenCloudWatchLogView command
  • Command History: Panel showing all API calls with responses
  • Service Access View: Enable/disable individual tools per workspace
  • Status Bar: Quick selectors for AWS profile and region

MCP Support

  • Built-in for VS Code / GitHub Copilot (no setup needed)
  • Stdio MCP bridge for Google Antigravity, Windsurf, Cursor, and other editors
  • Up to 3 concurrent MCP sessions
  • Tool availability controlled via awsclaw.mcp.disabledTools setting

Safety Model

  • Read-only operations (list, describe, get): Execute automatically without confirmation
  • Mutating operations (put, post, upload, delete, create, update, invoke, start, execute): Require user confirmation before execution
  • Readonly mode: Available via SetAwsReadonlyMode to block all write operations

AWS Connectivity & Session Management

How Credentials Work

Awsclaw uses the standard AWS SDK credential provider chain:

  1. Environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
  2. AWS SSO (Single Sign-On) via aws sso login
  3. Shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials)
  4. Shared config file (~/.aws/config)

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.
