What it does
Dd Audit Key Compromise is an agent skill from datadog-labs/agent-skills. Investigate a potentially compromised Datadog API key — timeline of actions, geo/IP breakdown, endpoints called, anomaly flags, and remediation steps.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Legal & Compliance. It works with Datadog. The repository describes itself as: Public repository for Datadog Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Legal & Compliance work in your project
Example prompts
- “/dd-audit-key-compromise”
Requirements
- A credential in DD_API_KEY
- A credential in DD_APP_KEY
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2411cc. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.datadoghq.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DD_API_KEYDD_APP_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Dd Audit Key Compromise loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 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.

Audit Trail: API Key Compromise Investigation
Reconstruct what a Datadog API key did, where requests originated, and which resources were affected.
Prerequisites
pup auth login # OAuth2 (recommended)
# or set DD_API_KEY + DD_APP_KEY with audit_logs_read scopeYou need the key ID of the suspect key (not the key value). Find it in Datadog UI under Organization Settings > API Keys, or from context showing @metadata.api_key.id.
Investigation Workflow
Step 1 — Establish timeline
pup audit-logs search --query "@metadata.api_key.id:KEY_ID" --from 90d --limit 200 -o json \
| jq '[.data[] | {
timestamp: .attributes.timestamp,
action: .attributes.attributes.action,
event: .attributes.attributes.evt.name,
resource_type: .attributes.attributes.asset.type,
resource_id: .attributes.attributes.asset.id,
endpoint: .attributes.attributes.http.url_details.path,
method: .attributes.attributes.http.method,
ip: .attributes.attributes.network.client.ip,
city: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.city.name,
country: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.country.name,
asn: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.as.name
}]'Step 2 — Geo/IP breakdown
pup audit-logs search --query "@metadata.api_key.id:KEY_ID" --from 90d --limit 500 -o json \
| jq '[.data[] | {
country: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.country.name,
asn: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.as.name,
ip: .attributes.attributes.network.client.ip
}]
| group_by(.country)
| map({
country: .[0].country,
count: length,
asns: [.[].asn] | unique,
ips: [.[].ip] | unique
})
| sort_by(-.count)'Step 3 — Endpoint breakdown
pup audit-logs search --query "@metadata.api_key.id:KEY_ID" --from 90d --limit 500 -o json \
| jq '[.data[] | {
method: .attributes.attributes.http.method,
path: .attributes.attributes.http.url_details.path
}]
| group_by(.path)
| map({path: .[0].path, methods: [.[].method] | unique, count: length})
| sort_by(-.count)'Step 4 — Destructive action check
pup audit-logs search --query "@metadata.api_key.id:KEY_ID @action:deleted" --from 90d -o json \
| jq '[.data[] | {
timestamp: .attributes.timestamp,
resource_type: .attributes.attributes.asset.type,
resource_id: .attributes.attributes.asset.id,
ip: .attributes.attributes.network.client.ip,
country: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.country.name
}]'Step 5 — When was the key created and by whom?
pup audit-logs search --query "@asset.type:api_key @asset.id:KEY_ID @action:created" --from 90d -o json \
| jq '[.data[] | {
created_at: .attributes.timestamp,
created_by: .attributes.attributes.usr.email,
creator_ip: .attributes.attributes.network.client.ip,
creator_country: .attributes.attributes.network.client.geoip.country.name
}]'Anomaly Flags
| Signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Country not in org's normal baseline | Possible exfiltration from unexpected region |
| ASN is a cloud/VPN provider (AWS, Cloudflare, NordVPN, etc.) | Proxied traffic; obscured origin |
| DELETE actions on monitors, dashboards, or log pipelines | Potential sabotage |
| Burst of activity in short window | Automated scraping or bulk exfiltration |
| Activity outside business hours | Off-hours access |
| Key used from multiple IPs simultaneously | Key shared or stolen |
Investigation Output Format
Key ID: <key_id>
Created: <timestamp> by <user_email>
Active period: <first_seen> to <last_seen>
Total events: <N>
Origins:
- <Country> (<ASN>): <N> events — [NORMAL / FLAG: first-time origin]
Endpoints called (top 5):
- <METHOD> <path>: <N> calls
Destructive actions: <N> deletions — [resource types affected]
Recommended actions:
1. Revoke the key immediately if not already done
2. Review affected resources: [list]
3. Check if any deleted resources need restoration
4. Audit who else had access to this keyRemediation
Revoke in Datadog UI: Organization Settings > API Keys > Revoke.
Or via API (requires manage_api_keys scope):
pup api-keys delete KEY_IDReferences
