What it does

Enrich With AWS Security Agent is an agent skill from aws/tools-for-devops-agent, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Automatically load this skill when investigating application outages, service degradation, or errors that could have security-related root causes — including unexplained downtime, authentication or authorization failures, injection attacks, data exposure, or suspicious application behavior. Query AWS Security Agent CloudWatch logs to retrieve detailed code review findings with actionable, low-level details (file, line number, vulnerability type) that customers can directly fix.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `.skilleval.yaml`, `CHANGELOG.md` and `README.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Cloud security, Incident response and Root cause analysis. It works with Amazon Web Services. The repository describes itself as: Open-source tools for AWS DevOps Agent - extend DevOps Agent with ready-to-use skills, custom agents, and other tools, for incident response, root cause analysis, and operational…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

  • Tasks that involve Cloud security
  • Tasks that involve Incident response
  • Tasks that involve Root cause analysis

Example prompts

  • “/enrich-with-aws-security-agent”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the relevant CloudWatch log group for AWS Security Agent findings. Look for log groups with patterns like
  2. Query the Security Agent logs using CloudWatch Logs Insights
  3. Extract actionable details from the findings
  4. Correlate findings with the incident by matching
  5. Present findings to the customer with

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddda70b. 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

Enrich With AWS Security Agent loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Enriching Investigations with AWS Security Agent Findings

When to Use — AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION

Load this skill automatically when ANY of these conditions apply:

Application-Level Symptoms (even without explicit security context)
  • Application pages or endpoints are not loading or returning errors
  • Unexplained service outages with no recent deployments
  • Application behaving unexpectedly without clear infrastructure cause
  • Services returning 4xx/5xx errors without obvious resource exhaustion
Explicit Security Signals
  • Security vulnerabilities or misconfigurations mentioned
  • Suspicious code patterns or behaviors observed
  • Authentication or authorization failures
  • Injection vulnerabilities suspected (SQL, command, SSRF, etc.)
  • Sensitive data exposure concerns
  • Security-related errors in application logs
  • Findings that suggest code-level security issues
Key Insight

Many security issues (like SSRF, injection attacks, or compromised dependencies) manifest as application outages or errors rather than obvious security alerts. When an app stops working and there's no clear infrastructure cause (no deployments, no resource exhaustion, no config changes), always check for security issues.

Overview

AWS Security Agent is an AI-powered security service that performs automated code security reviews and penetration testing. Its findings are stored in CloudWatch Logs and provide detailed, actionable information about vulnerabilities including exact file locations, line numbers, and remediation guidance.

Steps

  1. Identify the relevant CloudWatch log group for AWS Security Agent findings. Look for log groups with patterns like:

    • /aws/securityagent/*
    • Log groups containing "security-agent" or "securityagent" in the name
  2. Query the Security Agent logs using CloudWatch Logs Insights:

    fields @timestamp, @message
    | filter @message like /finding|vulnerability|issue|risk/
    | sort @timestamp desc
    | limit 100
  3. Extract actionable details from the findings:

    • File path: The exact source file containing the vulnerability
    • Line number: The specific line(s) of code affected
    • Vulnerability type: Classification (e.g., SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, hardcoded secrets)
    • Severity: Critical, High, Medium, Low
    • Description: What the vulnerability is and why it's a risk
    • Remediation: Suggested fix or mitigation
  4. Correlate findings with the incident by matching:

    • Affected services or components
    • Timeframes (when the vulnerability was introduced vs. when the incident occurred)
    • Code paths involved in the failing functionality
  5. Present findings to the customer with:

    • Clear identification of the vulnerable code location
    • Explanation of how this vulnerability may relate to the incident
    • Specific remediation steps they can take to fix the code

Example Log Query for Specific Application

If investigating a specific application (e.g., "ssrf-demo", "orders", "account"):

fields @timestamp, @message
| filter @message like /ssrf|orders|account|vulnerability|finding|issue/
| sort @timestamp desc
| limit 50

Important Notes

  • AWS Security Agent API access may require additional IAM permissions. If API calls fail, fall back to the CloudWatch logs approach.
  • Always provide the exact file and line number when available — this is the key value for customers.
  • Link the security finding to the observed incident behavior when possible.
  • When in doubt, check security logs — it's better to rule out security issues than to miss them.
