We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

AWS DynamoDB API Skill
Overview
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database. This skill covers the AWS SDK v3 with a strong emphasis on the DocumentClient.
Installation
npm install @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb @aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb
pip install boto3Authentication
Uses standard AWS IAM authentication.
Core Concepts
- Partition Key (PK): Determines data distribution.
- Sort Key (SK): Enables range queries and sorting.
- GSI: Global Secondary Index for alternative access patterns.
Common Workflows
- Instantiate
DynamoDBClient. - Wrap it with
DynamoDBDocumentClient.from(client). - Execute a
QueryCommandorPutCommand.
Error Handling
Handle ProvisionedThroughputExceededException via exponential backoff (SDK v3 does this automatically up to a limit). Handle ConditionalCheckFailedException for optimistic locking.
Security
Use IAM conditions to restrict access to specific Partition Keys (e.g., tenant isolation) if acting on behalf of users.
Rate Limits
Limits are based on Provisioned Capacity (WCUs/RCUs) or On-Demand mode throughput.
Best Practices
Use Single Table Design to minimize network trips. Avoid Scan operations at all costs; always Query using well-defined indexes.
Troubleshooting
If a Query returns unexpected results, ensure you are specifying the IndexName if querying a GSI, and that the GSI has finished populating.

Why use this skill
Use this when your agent works with aws-dynamodb — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.
AI pitfalls
- Inventing column names or schema fields
- Using deprecated driver methods or wrong connection strings
- Omitting connection pooling or transaction boundaries
Production checklist
- [ ] Migrations version-controlled and applied via CI
- [ ] Connection limits and pooling configured
- [ ] Backups and restore procedure documented
