Send messages to Amazon SQS queues, receive and delete them to work through a queue, and list queues and their message counts, signed with an AWS access key. Uses SQS's query API, whose XML answers this tool returns as text.

Look things up. Nothing changes.
List queues
Lists the account's queue URLs in the connection's Region, optionally only those whose name starts with a prefix, up to 1,000 a page.
Get a queue's URL
Finds a queue's URL from its name (and the owning account, for a queue another account shared).
Get a queue's counts and settings
Gets a queue's attributes: ApproximateNumberOfMessages (waiting), ApproximateNumberOfMessagesNotVisible.
Write 4
Create, change or send.
Send a message
Sends one message to a queue.
Receive messages
Takes up to 10 waiting messages from a queue, waiting up to 20 seconds for one to arrive.
Delete a messageDeletes data
Deletes a received message from a queue by its ReceiptHandle, once it has been handled.
Hide a message for longer
Changes how long a received message stays hidden, to take more time over it, or 0 to put it back on the queue at once.
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.

- 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 SQS data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list queues, get a queue's URL or get a queue's counts and settings in Amazon SQS, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Amazon SQS
Have the agent send a message or delete a message in Amazon SQS 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 SQS and Slack: it can list queues in Amazon SQS and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
