Awsclaw Lambda

Manage AWS Lambda functions, event source mappings, aliases, versions, and layers.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks about Lambda functions or serverless
• Wants to invoke a Lambda function
• Needs to update function code
• Wants to inspect function configuration, concurrency, or URLs
• Asks about event source mappings (SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, Kinesis triggers)
• Needs to manage aliases, versions, or layers
• Wants to tag or untag Lambda resources
• Wants to create, update, or delete Lambda functions
• Needs to manage permissions or function URLs
