Questions

Can Memtro change anything in AWS Cost Explorer?

No. The AWS Cost Explorer connector is read-only: every tool reads, searches or lists. Nothing is created, sent, updated or deleted, and the credentials you give it should be read-only too.

Who can use a AWS Cost Explorer connection?

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my AWS Cost Explorer data?

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed AWS Cost Explorer records into memory as entities.

How do I connect AWS Cost Explorer?

IAM access key. In IAM create a user or role with the AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess policy (or ce:Get* on its own) and make sure IAM access to billing is activated for the account.
