honeycomb-production-investigation from aws/tools-for-devops-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/honeycomb-production-investigation@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Load when an investigation needs Honeycomb telemetry to find a root cause: a latency spike, an error surge, a deployment regression, a failing dependency or an SLO burning budget. Gives the order of Honeycomb MCP tool calls (orient, broad query, BubbleUp, trace drill-down, verification) and how to carry each result into the next step.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Honeycomb Production Investigation Structured workflows for debugging production issues. The MCP tools document their own parameters — this skill focuses on the *sequence* of tool calls and how to *interpret* results to reach a root cause. ## The Core Analysis Loop This workflow implements the core analysis loop: **Define → Visualize → Investigate → Evaluate**. If BubbleUp returns nothing useful, the issue is often an instrumentation gap: report which attributes are missing so the team can add them. Requires the Honeycomb connector in the Agent Space, with its read tools enabled. Creating a board, SLO or trigger needs write access: **Read-write** at sign-in, or a key with **Write** under **Model Context Protocol**. If a create tool is missing or returns a permission error, stop and tell the operator that it needs write access. Do not retry. ## Investigation Workflow ### Step 1: Orient 1. `get_workspace_context` → environments and datasets 2. `get_slos` → any SLOs in violation? (frames severity) 3. `get_triggers` → any alerts firing? (narrows scope) 4. `find_queries` → has anyone investigated this before? ### Step 2: Characterize the Problem …

How to install
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/honeycomb-production-investigation@sha256:75cfdf69789a410dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
