Structured inventory and cataloging across your AWS data landscape: Glue Data Catalog with S3 Tables, Redshift-federated, and remote Iceberg catalogs.

Overview

Maps data in an AWS account. Starts with catalog landscape (Glue, S3 Tables, federated), then drills into databases and tables. Read-only — no query execution.

Constraints for parameter acquisition:

You MUST ask for the target AWS region upfront if not provided

You MUST support a single optional argument: search term, catalog name, database name, S3 path, or table name

You MUST accept the argument as direct input or a pointer to a file containing the spec

You MUST confirm the scope (full landscape vs. targeted deep dive) before making API calls

You MUST respect the user's decision to abort at any step

Common Tasks

Pagination: All list and search calls in this workflow may return paginated results. You MUST pass --next-token from the previous response until no more tokens are returned. You MUST NOT assume a single page contains all results.
