Amazon Cognito is now available as a core skill (aws-auth) in the [Agent Toolkit for AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/products/developer-tools/agent-toolkit-for-aws/). AI coding agents using the toolkit can now set up, configure, secure, and troubleshoot Amazon Cognito using best-practice workflows, helping developers implement secure sign-in flows for users, AI agents, and microservices faster. The Amazon Cognito (aws-auth) skill covers user pool and app client configuration, managed login and OAuth 2.0 flows, token management, JWT authorizers, passkey/WebAuthn enrollment, threat protection, Lambda trigger wiring, and identity pools. When paired with the [AWS MCP Server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/mcp-server.html), agents execute AWS CLI commands with IAM-based guardrails and CloudTrail audit logging. The skill also works standalone via the AWS CLI. The Amazon Cognito (aws-auth) skill is available as part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS. To get started, see the [Amazon Cognito aws-auth skill on GitHub](https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/main/skills/core-skills/aws-auth) or browse the [Agent Toolkit Quick Start guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/quick-start.html).
