Amazon Cognito now available as a skill in the Agent Toolkit for AWS

Amazon Cognito is now available as a core skill (aws-auth) in the Agent Toolkit for AWS. AI coding agents using the toolkit can now set up, configure, secure, and troubleshoot Amazon Cognito using best-practice workflows, helping developers implement secure sign-in flows for users, AI agents, and microservices faster.

The Amazon Cognito (aws-auth) skill covers user pool and app client configuration, managed login and OAuth 2.0 flows, token management, JWT authorizers, passkey/WebAuthn enrollment, threat protection, Lambda trigger wiring, and identity pools. When paired with the AWS MCP Server, agents execute AWS CLI commands with IAM-based guardrails and CloudTrail audit logging. The skill also works standalone via the AWS CLI.

The Amazon Cognito (aws-auth) skill is available as part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS. To get started, see the Amazon Cognito aws-auth skill on GitHub or browse the Agent Toolkit Quick Start guide. For more information about Amazon Cognito, see the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.
