What your agents can do in Amazon DynamoDB

Read and write items in Amazon DynamoDB tables: get, put, update and delete an item by its key, query by partition key or an index, scan with a filter, and list and describe tables, signed with an AWS access key. Items use DynamoDB's typed JSON, like {"id": {"S": "A-1001"}}.

Read 5

Look things up. Nothing changes.

  • List tables

    Lists the account's table names in the connection's Region, up to 100 a page.

  • Describe a table

    Gets a table's design: Table with KeySchema (partition key HASH and sort key RANGE), AttributeDefinitions.

  • Get an item

    Gets one item by its full primary key, in DynamoDB's typed JSON, like {"pk": {"S": "CUSTOMER#42"}, "sk": {"S": "ORDER#A-1001"}}.

  • Query items

    Finds the items with one partition key value, optionally narrowed by a sort key condition, on the table or one of its indexes.

  • Scan a table

    Reads every item of a table or index page by page, optionally keeping only those that match filter (still read, and billed, in full).

Write 3

Create, change or send.

  • Put an item

    Creates an item, or replaces the item with the same key entirely, from typed JSON like {"id": {"S": "A-1001"}, "total": {"N": "42.5"}}.

  • Update an item

    Changes some attributes of one item with an update expression, like SET #s = :s, total = total + :n REMOVE note, creating the item if it does not exist (unless a condition says otherwise).

  • Delete an itemDeletes data

    Deletes one item by its full primary key, optionally only if a condition holds.

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

Sign-in details

Enter the sign-in details Amazon DynamoDB gives you for its API.

What you enter

  • Access key ID
  • Secret access key

Settings

  • Region

Kept safe

  • Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
  • They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
  • Calls go only to the tool's own servers.

How we protect your data

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your Amazon DynamoDB data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list tables, describe a table or get an item in Amazon DynamoDB, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update Amazon DynamoDB

    Have the agent update an item or delete an item in Amazon DynamoDB as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent Amazon DynamoDB and Slack: it can list tables in Amazon DynamoDB and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
