About agent-skills
A collection of Datadog skills for AI agents, covering account setup, monitoring, logs, observability, and cloud integrations. It also guides use of the `pup` CLI and sets an execution policy that checks context and discovers missing inputs before running commands.
Key features
- 01Authenticate Datadog accounts and check regions
- 02Search logs, traces, and metrics
- 03Create and manage monitors and alerts
- 04Configure cloud integrations and SDKs
- 05Manage tasks with the `pup` CLI
Use cases
- 01Investigate application errors and slow traces
- 02Create alerts or schedule monitor downtime
- 03Connect cloud accounts to Datadog
- 04Instrument AI backends for LLM observability

Prerequisites
See Setup Pup for installation and authentication.
Command Execution Policy
Use this order for scoped commands:
- Check context first (conversation, prior outputs, known values).
- Run discovery commands when required values are missing.
- Ask the user only when values remain ambiguous.
- Run the target command after required inputs are known.
- Avoid speculative commands likely to fail.
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Search error logs | pup logs search --query "status:error" --from 1h |
| List monitors | pup monitors list |
| Schedule monitor downtime | pup downtime create --file downtime.json |
| Find slow traces | pup traces search --query "service:api @duration:>500ms" --from 1h |
| Query metrics | pup metrics query --query "avg:system.cpu.user{*}" |
| Check auth | pup auth status |
| Refresh token | pup auth refresh |
Auth
pup auth login # OAuth2 (recommended)
pup auth status # Check token
pup auth refresh # Refresh expired token
Token Expiry: OAuth tokens expire (~1 hour). Run pup auth refresh if commands fail with 401/403.
