investigation-cost-guardrail
investigation-cost-guardrail is an Observability & incident response skill for AI agents, published by aws-samples in the sample-devops-agent-tools repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates investigation-cost-guardrail C (71/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Estimates the downstream AWS API cost of an incident investigation before the agent runs any CloudWatch Logs Insights, GetMetricData, X-Ray, or cross-region query, shows a per-step cost plan, and cancels if the estimate exceeds a threshold or no time window is provided. This skill applies ONLY to diagnosing a problem that has already happened (an incident, error, outage, alarm, latency spike, or failure) for example 'what happened', 'why is X down', 'look into this alarm', 'investigate the errors'. It does NOT apply to actions that create, change, deploy, scale, or configure resources (for example deploying a CDK or CloudFormation stack, or scaling a service), nor to architecture or Well-Architected reviews, cost or billing reports, inventory listing, or general how-to questions.
