What it does
Dd Audit Security Investigation is an agent skill from datadog-labs/agent-skills. Answer "who did what" security questions from Audit Trail — deletions, config changes, login activity, permission changes, actions from a specific user or IP.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Security. The repository describes itself as: Public repository for Datadog Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Security work in your project
Example prompts
- “who did what”
- “/dd-audit-security-investigation”
Requirements
- A credential in DD_API_KEY
- A credential in DD_APP_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clarify the investigation scope: who, what resource type, what time window.
- Run the most specific query first; broaden only if results are empty.
- If results are large, pipe to jq to group or summarize.
- Highlight anomalies: bulk operations, unusual geo, off-hours activity, support user actions.
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 Security Investigation loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 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.

Anomaly Flags to Surface
When presenting investigation results, call out:
- Actor type
SUPPORT_USER— Datadog support accessed the org - Bulk deletions — same user, same action, many resources in a short window
- Unexpected geography — country not seen in prior logins for this user
- Off-hours activity — actions at unusual times for the user's typical timezone
- First-time ASN — action from a cloud provider or VPN not seen before (
@network.client.geoip.as.name)
