Datadog Docs

Use the smallest source that answers the question, then stop. Cite the page URL you used.

search_datadog_documentation is available → Search.
The question is an API endpoint or request schema, and search did not answer it → API.
Otherwise → Page.

search_datadog_documentation (MCP toolset documentation, no extra permission) returns at most 10 source passages with links. It does not write an answer. It supports English, French, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.

Call read_datadog_documentation with one source URL or document id only when a passage is not enough. It returns long pages in parts; stop at the part that answers.

If the tool is not in your tool list, skip this section. Enabling the toolset is a separate setup task.

API

Pup reads the live API reference and needs no auth. Commands, smallest first:

pup docs api <topic> --operations
pup docs api <topic>

The operations list is the small result. Fetch pup docs api <topic> <operation> only when you need that operation’s request schema: the page includes every sample. Skip pup docs api with no topic.

Page

https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt is the section index. Open the one section index it links to, then fetch one page by appending .md:

https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors/llms.txt
https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors.md

Documentation is served from docs.datadoghq.com. Site-specific values, such as API endpoints, are selected on that page.

About this skill

Trigger

Look up Datadog documentation, limits, and feature availability. Prefer search_datadog_documentation when that MCP tool is available, then one Markdown page from docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt. For API reference, use pup docs api.

The verbatim description from this skill’s front matter — the string an agent matches on to decide whether to load it.

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/datadog-labs/agent-skills, branch main, last pushed 6 November 2026.

Licence

MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

69 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 11 distinct layouts observed: agent-observability/*/SKILL.md, */SKILL.md, dd-android-sdk/*/SKILL.md, dd-apm/*/SKILL.md, dd-apm/k8s-ssi/*/SKILL.md, dd-apm/linux-ssi/*/SKILL.md, dd-apps/*/SKILL.md, dd-audit/*/SKILL.md, dd-browser-sdk/*/SKILL.md, dd-security/csm/*/SKILL.md, dd-software-delivery/*/SKILL.md.

Issue colours

Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 299°, chroma 0.183. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this skill so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Shifted “4 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.

Images

Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Marketplace

A plugin manifest is published at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json by datadog-labs, declaring 1 plugin. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /datadog-labs/agent-skills.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
