HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go through xpander’s function endpoint https://functions.xpander.ai/aws-athena, which fronts the AWS Athena API, and carry a signature from the AWS Operator’s IAM role in your cluster, so there is no key to paste.

​
What the skill can do

API connector: 17 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 17 of them create, change or delete something in AWS Athena; mark those under These actions need approval when you add the skill to an agent.
  • Query execution service (6): Get Execution By Id, Get Results By Id, Metadata List Databases, Start Execution, Stop Execution By Id, List Executions
  • Named query management (5): Get Query By Id, Delete Query By Id, List Queries, Batch Get Queries By Ids, Create Query
  • Prepared statement service (3): Work Group List Work Groups, Stmt Create Statement, Stmt List Statements
  • Metadata management (2): Get Table Metadata, List Table Metadata

Connect AWS Athena

In Xpander Chat, open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and search for AWS Athena. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the Organization (one shared account) or Personal (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person’s own sign-in; see whose credential a shared agent uses. AWS Athena is served by the AWS Operator in your cluster and signs its calls with the pods’ own AWS identity; there is no key to paste. The IAM setup is on AWS Operator. Calls go to https://functions.xpander.ai/aws-athena.

Give an agent the AWS Athena skill

Once AWS Athena is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose AWS Athena. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
