Manage Elasticsearch RBAC: native users, roles, role mappings, document- and field-level security. Use when creating users or roles, assigning privileges, or mapping external realms like LDAP/SAML.

Authenticate to Elasticsearch using native, file-based, LDAP/AD, SAML, OIDC, Kerberos, JWT, or certificate realms. Use when connecting with credentials, choosing a realm, or managing API keys. Assumes the target realms are already configured.

Search and filter Observability logs using ES|QL. Use when investigating log spikes, errors, or anomalies; getting volume and trends; or drilling into services or containers during incidents.

Create and manage SLOs in Elastic Observability using the Kibana API. Use when defining SLIs, setting error budgets, or managing SLO lifecycle.

Manage Serverless network security (traffic filters): create, update, and delete IP filters and AWS PrivateLink VPC filters. Use when restricting network access or configuring private connectivity.

Configures Elastic Cloud authentication and environment defaults. Use when setting up EC_API_KEY, configuring Cloud API access, or when another cloud skill requires credentials.

Enable, configure, and query Elasticsearch security audit logs. Use when the task involves audit logging setup, event filtering, or investigating security incidents like failed logins.

Manage Elastic Cloud organization access: invite users, assign roles to Serverless projects, and create or revoke Cloud API keys. Use when granting, modifying, or auditing user access.

Creates Elastic Cloud Serverless projects (Elasticsearch, Observability, or Security) via the REST API, saves credentials to file, and bootstraps a scoped Elasticsearch API key. Use when creating a new serverless project, provisioning a search or observability environment, or spinning up a new Elastic Cloud project.

Manages existing Elastic Cloud Serverless projects: list, get, update, delete, reset credentials, resume, and load saved credentials. Connects to existing projects by resolving endpoints and acquiring scoped Elasticsearch API keys. Use when performing day-2 operations on serverless projects, connecting to an existing project, loading or resetting project credentials, or looking up project details.

Execute ES|QL (Elasticsearch Query Language) queries, use when the user wants to query Elasticsearch data, analyze logs, aggregate metrics, explore data, or create charts and dashboards from ES|QL results.

Ingest and transform data files (CSV/JSON/Parquet/Arrow IPC) into Elasticsearch with stream processing and custom transforms. Use when loading files or batch importing data — not for reindexing, general ingest pipeline design, or bulk API patterns.

Help developers new to Elasticsearch get from zero to a working search experience. Guide them through understanding their intent, mapping their data, and building a search experience with best practices baked in. Use this when developers are new to Elasticsearch and need help getting started with their search use case.

Diagnose and resolve Elasticsearch security errors: 401/403 failures, TLS problems, expired API keys, role mapping mismatches, and Kibana login issues. Use when the user reports a security error.

Create and manage Agent Builder agents and custom tools in Kibana. Use when asked to create, update, delete, test, or inspect agents or tools in Agent Builder.

Create and manage Kibana alerting rules via REST API or Terraform. Use when creating, updating, or managing rule lifecycle (enable, disable, mute, snooze) or rules-as-code workflows.

Enable and configure Kibana audit logging for saved object access, logins, and space operations. Use when setting up Kibana audit, filtering events, or correlating Kibana and ES audit logs.

Create and manage Kibana connectors for Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, webhooks, and more via REST API or Terraform. Use when configuring third-party integrations or managing connectors as code.

Create and manage Kibana Dashboards and visualizations. Use when you need to define dashboards and visualizations declaratively, version control them, or automate their deployment.

Create Vega and Vega-Lite visualizations with ES|QL data sources in Kibana. Use when building custom charts, dashboards, or programmatic panel layouts beyond standard Lens charts.

List, inspect, enable, disable, and resync Kibana Streams via the REST API. Use when the user needs stream details, ingest/query settings, queries, significant events, or attachments.

Instrument a .NET application with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) .NET SDK for automatic tracing, metrics, and logs. Use when adding observability to a .NET service that has no existing APM agent.

Migrate a .NET application from the classic Elastic APM .NET agent to the EDOT .NET SDK. Use when switching from Elastic.Apm.* packages to Elastic.OpenTelemetry.

Assess APM service health using SLOs, alerts, ML, throughput, latency, error rate, and dependencies. Use when checking service status, performance, or when the user asks about service health.

Instrument a Java application with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) Java agent for automatic tracing, metrics, and logs. Use when adding observability to a Java service that has no existing APM agent.

Migrate a Java application from the classic Elastic APM Java agent to the EDOT Java agent. Use when switching from elastic-apm-agent.jar to elastic-otel-javaagent.jar.

Instrument a Python application with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) Python agent for automatic tracing, metrics, and logs. Use when adding observability to a Python service that has no existing APM agent.

Migrate a Python application from the classic Elastic APM Python agent to the EDOT Python agent. Use when switching from elastic-apm to elastic-opentelemetry.

Monitor LLMs and agentic apps: performance, token/cost, response quality, and workflow orchestration. Use when the user asks about LLM monitoring, GenAI observability, or AI cost/quality.

Triage Elastic Security alerts — gather context, classify threats, create cases, and acknowledge. Use when triaging alerts, performing SOC analysis, or investigating detections.

Create, search, update, and manage SOC cases via the Kibana Cases API. Use when tracking incidents, linking alerts to cases, adding investigation notes, or managing triage output.

Create, tune, and manage Elastic Security detection rules (SIEM and Endpoint). Use for false positives, exceptions, new coverage, noisy rules, or rule management via Kibana API.

Generate sample security events, attack scenarios, and synthetic alerts for Elastic Security. Use when demoing, populating dashboards, testing detection rules, or setting up a POC.
