What it does
Creating API Gateway Stage is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Creates an API Gateway stage with CloudWatch logging, X-Ray tracing, throttling, WAF integration, and IAM roles following AWS best practices. Use when deploying a REST API to different environments such as dev, test, or production.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/create-api-gateway-stage.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Microservices. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Deploying a REST API to different environments such as dev
- Tasks that involve Microservices
Example prompts
- “Use the creating-api-gateway-stage skill to create an API Gateway stage with CloudWatch logging, X-Ray tracing, throttling, WAF integration, and IAM…”
- “/creating-api-gateway-stage”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 188af2f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Creating API Gateway Stage loads about 337 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Creating an API Gateway Stage
Overview
Domain expertise for creating and configuring API Gateway stages with comprehensive logging, monitoring, security, and throttling controls. Covers CloudWatch logging setup, X-Ray tracing, WAF web ACL association, method-level configuration, and authorization options.
Create an API Gateway stage
To create a fully configured API Gateway stage with logging, throttling, WAF, and authorization, follow the procedure exactly. See API Gateway stage creation procedure.
Troubleshooting
CloudWatch logs not appearing
Verify the CloudWatch role permissions, log group existence, and that logging is enabled at both stage and method levels. See the full procedure for details.
Stage creation fails
Check REST API ID, deployment ID, IAM permissions, and stage naming conventions.
WAF blocking legitimate requests
Review WAF logs, adjust rules or add exceptions, and consider count mode for testing.
