Frequently Asked Questions

How does the agent authenticate to AWS?
Uses AWS credentials from the environment (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) or from ~/.aws/credentials. Supports IAM roles and STS temporary credentials.
What AWS services are supported?
Common services include EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, ECS, EKS, and RDS. Coverage varies. Check the GitHub repo for current service list.
Can agents modify AWS resources?
Yes, if the credentials have write permissions. Follow least-privilege principles and use read-only credentials for agents used primarily for querying.
