Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: 169.254.169.254, aws-codedeploy-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances. It can be used to retrieve information about running instances, manage their lifecycle (start, stop, reboot), and potentially execute commands within those instances. The agent can also query for instance details like IP addresses, security groups, and associated tags.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting: Investigate why an application is experiencing issues by checking the status of its underlying EC2 instance.
  • Resource Management: Automatically scale down EC2 instances during periods of low traffic to reduce costs.
  • Security Audits: Retrieve information about security groups and associated IP addresses for EC2 instances to identify potential vulnerabilities.
  • Automated Deployments: Start or stop EC2 instances as part of a deployment pipeline.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieve instance status (running, stopped, etc.)
  • Start/Stop/Reboot EC2 instances
  • Query instance details (IP address, security groups, tags)

Example prompts

  • "What is the current status of my web server EC2 instance?"
  • "Stop the EC2 instance with tag 'Name: ProductionWebServer'."
  • "Give me the public IP address for the database EC2 instance."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires AWS credentials configured within the AI agent environment.
  • Be mindful of potential costs associated with starting or stopping EC2 instances, especially in production environments.
