Actions
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.
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.
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.

Yes. The Amazon DynamoDB connector has 8 actions: 5 read and 3 make changes. Your agents can call them as tools, and your workflows can run them as steps.
How do I connect Amazon DynamoDB?
Enter the sign-in details Amazon DynamoDB gives you for its API. You'll need: Access key ID and Secret access key. The connection also asks for: Region. Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys and are opened only at the moment of a call.
Can an agent change data in Amazon DynamoDB without asking?
Only if you let it. Each of the 3 actions that change data can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, and the one that deletes data asks first by default.
Can I use Amazon DynamoDB in workflows as well as agents?
Yes. Every Amazon DynamoDB action also works as a step in a workflow, and the same connection serves your agents and your workflows.
