When a [verify] tag remains in a draft, this file says where to look.
The skill draft has stable-core embedded. ONLY hit external retrieval for values. Resolve all tags in ONE batched pass — never per-claim.
[verify]The first two primitives are AWS-MCP-server-specific. They’re convenient when the MCP server is loaded, but they are NOT required — every retrieval below has a non-MCP fallback (column 3).
| Primitive | When | Non-MCP fallback |
|---|---|---|
aws___read_documentation (AWS MCP) | AWS-domain URLs only (docs.aws.amazon.com/*, aws.amazon.com/*) | WebFetch (or curl <url>) |
WebFetch | Non-AWS hosts (docs.opensearch.org, solr.apache.org, elastic.co, github.com, etc.) | curl <url> |
aws___get_regional_availability (AWS MCP) | Confirm an AWS service or instance class is available in a target region | aws opensearch list-instance-type-details --region <region> (CLI) or aws ec2 describe-instance-type-offerings --region <region> |
Per-domain routing rules:
| Domain | Tool |
|---|---|
docs.aws.amazon.com/* | aws___read_documentation |
aws.amazon.com/blogs/* | aws___read_documentation (or WebFetch as fallback) |
aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/* | aws___read_documentation |
docs.opensearch.org/* | WebFetch |
opensearch.org/blog/* | WebFetch |
solr.apache.org/* | WebFetch |
elastic.co/* | WebFetch |
github.com/opensearch-project/* | gh CLI (Bash) or WebFetch |
lucene.apache.org/* | WebFetch |
After drafting Steps 3–7 with [verify] tags, do this in ONE pass:
