aws-secrets-manager
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: access-control, api, cloud, secrets, security.
What it does
Secret safety for AWS Secrets Manager, secret management, credentials, API keys, tokens, and passwords. Prevents AI agents from directly fetching secret values and teaches runtime dynamic references with asm-exec so plaintext never enters the LLM context window.
