note: 'DynamoDB''s MCP surface does not mirror its API surface, and the crosswalk is lopsided on purpose.
  The eight tools of the first-party awslabs.dynamodb-mcp-server are DESIGN tools - none of them binds
  to a DynamoDB operation at all, so they are recorded in mcp_only[] with the reason. The runtime binding
  is a single generic executor, aws___run_script, which fans out to every operation in the model. Fifty-eight
  REST operations therefore have no named tool. Nothing here is mapped by guesswork: a tool is bound to
  an operation only where the tool''s own published description names that work.'

  binding: generic-executor
  confidence: high
  note: Executes Python with AWS API access; a DynamoDB call is a boto3 call inside the script. Every
    modeled operation is reachable, none is named.
- tool: aws___read_documentation
  server: AWS Knowledge MCP Server (remote)
  category: documentation
  rest: []
  binding: documentation
  confidence: high
  note: Fetches DynamoDB developer-guide and API-reference pages as markdown. Reads about operations;
    calls none.

  rest: []
  binding: documentation
  confidence: high
mcp_only:
- tool: dynamodb_data_modeling
  reason: Design guidance. Returns a modeling prompt; no API operation backs it.
- tool: dynamodb_data_model_validation
  reason: Drives DynamoDB Local (a local JAR) to create tables and replay access patterns. It exercises
    CreateTable/PutItem/Query semantics, but against the local emulator, not the service, so it binds
    to no account-facing operation.
- tool: source_db_analyzer
  reason: Reads a MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQL Server/Oracle source schema. Not a DynamoDB surface at all.
- tool: generate_resources
  reason: Emits a CDK app. Deployment happens later through CloudFormation, not through the DynamoDB API.
- tool: dynamodb_data_model_schema_converter
  reason: File-to-file transformation of the data model into schema.json.
- tool: dynamodb_data_model_schema_validator
  reason: Static validation of schema.json.
- tool: generate_data_access_layer
  reason: Generates Python that WILL call boto3 DynamoDB operations; the tool itself calls none.
- tool: compute_performances_and_costs
  reason: Cost arithmetic over the access patterns. Reads the price list model, not the API.
- tool: aws___get_presigned_url
  reason: Amazon S3 surface, used for file hand-off around run_script.
- tool: aws___get_tasks
  reason: Server-side task bookkeeping for long-running run_script invocations.
- tool: aws___list_regions
  reason: AWS-wide metadata.
- tool: aws___get_regional_availability
  reason: AWS-wide metadata.
- tool: aws___retrieve_skill
  reason: Returns AWS-authored agent skills; not a DynamoDB operation.
