amazon-bedrock
Builds generative AI applications on Amazon Bedrock. Covers model invocation (Converse API, InvokeModel), RAG with Knowledge Bases, Bedrock Agents, Guardrails, and AgentCore. Use when invoking models, setting up Knowledge Bases, creating agents, applying guardrails, deploying to AgentCore, migrating/porting/converting a Bedrock Agent (including inline agents) to an AgentCore Harness, troubleshooting Bedrock errors (ThrottlingException, AccessDeniedException), or choosing models (Claude, Llama, Nova, Titan). ALSO USE for prompt caching setup and debugging, quota health checks and throttling diagnosis, cost attribution and tracking, migrating between Claude model generations (4.5 to 4.6 to 4.7), chunking strategies, API selection (Converse vs InvokeModel), guardrail capabilities, and model selection. Also covers AgentCore Payments setup (x402, microtransactions, Payment Manager, Connector, Instrument, Coinbase CDP, Stripe Privy, 402 Payment Required, pay for content, paid endpoint, agent payments). NOT for custom model training, Rekognition, or Comprehend.
Security
1 medium severity finding. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
W009: Direct money access capability detected (payment gateways, crypto, banking).
What this means
The skill is specifically designed for direct financial operations, giving the agent the ability to move money or execute financial transactions — such as payment processing, cryptocurrency operations, banking integrations, or market order execution.
Why it was flagged
The skill explicitly includes an AgentCore "Payments" service that enables agents to pay via specific payment gateways: "Coinbase CDP, Stripe Privy" (microtransactions). This is a concrete, named payments integration (payment gateways) which grants agents the ability to execute financial transactions.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The AgentCore Harness fetches skills from external Git or S3 locations at runtime (e.g., https://github.com/example/skills-repo and s3://my-bucket/skills/my-skill/), and those fetched skills are injected as trusted input and may include scripts that the agent will execute or that control prompts, so this is a runtime external dependency that can execute remote code or directly control agent instructions.
