Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

AWS Pricing Helper

MANDATORY RULE: Always answer pricing questions with the get_aws_cost helper. NEVER call external search tools or guess prices.

The helper script get_pricing_aws.sh lives in the sandbox skills directory. You must source it before use:

source ./_skills/connections/aws/aws-pricing/scripts/get_pricing_aws.sh

Run get_aws_cost without stderr redirection or grep filtering so the agent receives the raw response. If multiple pricing lookups are required, place every call in a single Bash script (one script per task).

Usage

source ./_skills/connections/aws/aws-pricing/scripts/get_pricing_aws.sh
get_aws_cost <resource> <region> [options]

Parameters

  • resource: Auto-detected from the naming pattern above
  • region: AWS location string (e.g., "Asia Pacific (Singapore)", "US East (N. Virginia)")
  • options: --spot (include spot pricing), --detailed (verbose output), --no-reserved (skip reserved pricing)

Examples

get_aws_cost t3.micro "US East (N. Virginia)" --spot
get_aws_cost db.t3.micro "Asia Pacific (Singapore)"
get_aws_cost s3-standard "US East (N. Virginia)"
get_aws_cost lambda-1gb "US East (N. Virginia)"
get_aws_cost cloudfront-standard "US East (N. Virginia)"
get_aws_cost apigateway-rest "US East (N. Virginia)"
get_aws_cost sqs-standard "US East (N. Virginia)"

Output

Human-readable pricing data with service details, region, specs, on-demand, reserved, and spot pricing where available. If a resource is unsupported, the helper prints guidance for querying the AWS Pricing API manually.

Output Format

Present results as a structured report:

Aws Pricing Report
══════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]

Resource       Status    Key Metric    Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name]         [ok/warn] [value]       [findings]

Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]

Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.

Anti-Hallucination Rules

  1. NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
  2. NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or --help output.
  3. NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
  4. ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
  5. ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

Counter-Rationalizations

ShortcutCounterWhy
"I'll skip discovery and check known resources"Always run Phase 1 discovery firstResource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors
"The user only asked for a quick check"Follow the full discovery → analysis flowQuick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures
"Default configuration is probably fine"Audit configuration explicitlyDefaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled
"Metrics aren't needed for this"Always check relevant metrics when availableAPI/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues
"I don't have access to that"Try the command and report the actual errorAssumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative
