IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's AWS account once, then configure and run DynamoDB - Scan from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "aws-dynamodb-scan",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
aws: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
region: "AWS Region",
tableName: "Table Name",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

await mcp.connect(transport)

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
region AWS Region | string | The AWS region Required Dynamic |
tableName Table Name | string | The name of the table Required Dynamic |
projectionExpression Projection Expression | string | A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the specified table or index. If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result. Optional |
filterExpression Filter Expression | string | A string expression that determines which items should be returned. See the docs Optional |
expressionAttributeNames Expression Attribute Names | string | One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. Example: { "#execs": "execs" } See the docs Optional |
expressionAttributeValues Expression Attribute Values | string | One or more values that can be substituted in an expression. Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. Example: { ":echo": { "S": "echo" }, ":oneh": { "N": "100" } } See the docs Optional |
limit Limit | integer | The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items) Optional |

Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
