SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing Step Functions state machines and executions often requires juggling CLI commands, AWS consoles, and JSON definitions, so this tool brings all lifecycle operations into the awsclaw VS Code chat context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive management: Inspect, describe, and list state machines, executions, aliases, and map runs without leaving the editor.
  • Lifecycle operations: Create, update, validate, publish, tag, and delete state machines, aliases, and resources with precise Amazon States Language inputs.
  • Diagnostic workflows: Filter executions by status, stop running executions, and read histories to debug failures while collaborating across services like Lambda, CloudWatch Logs, and IAM.
  • Use Case: When a deployment team needs to validate a new workflow, you can list the state machine, update its definition, publish a version, and inspect execution history all through StepFuncTool commands.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to use StepFuncTool to list executions for my state machine and return the most recent event history.
