AWS Documentation Tools (via the AWS MCP Server)
Part of the Aurora DSQL Skill. When the AWS MCP Server is connected, these tools are available for AWS documentation lookups, including DSQL service docs.
The canonical tool list lives at Understanding the MCP Server tools; the entries below cover the ones load-bearing for DSQL workflows.
AWS Knowledge Tools
aws___search_documentation
Use for: finding relevant AWS documentation, looking up DSQL features, troubleshooting.
Search across all AWS documentation, including API references, best practices, service guides, and skills. Use the topic filter to search skills exclusively, or see skills alongside general knowledge search results. Find relevant information from multiple AWS knowledge sources.
Common DSQL queries:
aurora dsql transaction limitsaurora dsql index limitsaurora dsql connection limitsaurora dsql authentication token
aws___read_documentation
Use for: retrieving the full markdown of a specific AWS documentation page when a search result snippet isn't enough. Pass the URL of the docs page you want to read.
aws___recommend
Use for: getting content recommendations for a specific AWS documentation page based on related topics and commonly viewed content.
aws___retrieve_skill
Use for: retrieving the full content of a domain-specific AWS skill (workflows, context, best
practices, decision frameworks, step-by-step procedures). Discover available skills via
aws___search_documentation first, then call aws___retrieve_skill with the skill name.
aws___list_regions
Use for: enumerating the AWS region identifiers and names. Pair with
aws___get_regional_availability when you need to confirm DSQL availability in a specific
region before recommending an architecture.
aws___get_regional_availability
Use for: checking whether DSQL (or a feature you depend on) is available in the user's target region before recommending an architecture. Supports per-service / per-feature availability checks.
AWS API Tools
aws___call_aws
Use for: authenticated AWS API calls. Useful for dsql:CreateCluster, dsql:GetCluster,
dsql:ListClusters, dsql:DeleteCluster, etc., when the assistant should drive cluster
lifecycle directly. Long-running calls return a task ID — poll it with aws___get_tasks.
aws___run_script
Use for: sandboxed Python with AWS API access. Useful for multi-step or parallel workflows
("list every cluster in the region, check whose tags include Environment=eval, then call
GetCluster on the matching ones"). Long-running scripts return a task ID — poll with
aws___get_tasks.
aws___get_tasks
Use for: polling the status of long-running tasks started by aws___call_aws or
aws___run_script. MUST call when a previous tool invocation returned a task ID with a
working status — without this, the agent can't observe completion or final output.
aws___get_presigned_url
Use for: generating pre-signed Amazon S3 URLs for uploading/downloading files. Relevant when a DSQL workflow involves S3-hosted SQL scripts, exported data, or the bulk-loading guide.
For tool-call shape, parameter details, and per-assistant invocation, see the official AWS MCP Server tool reference.
