The declared contract - every input name, type, default and description, plus every output - is shown to signed-in accounts, not to anonymous visitors.
A free account sees the contract of every module in the catalogue. There is no subscription and nothing to buy - the modules are free to download, and they run under Vizier.
Documentation
aws-detective
Detective behaviour graph with member accounts and optional organization
delegation. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider
>= 6.0, < 7.0.
What this is not: a detection tool. Detective finds nothing on its own. It ingests what GuardDuty, CloudTrail and VPC flow logs already produced and makes the relationships between them navigable, which is what an investigation needs after an alert. Enabling it instead of GuardDuty buys nothing; enabling it alongside turns a finding into a timeline.
Worth knowing:
- The administrator account pays. Detective bills per GB ingested to the graph owner, so every member account added here is a cost you carry rather than one the member carries
- Invitation emails are suppressed by default: sending one to an account inside your own organization is noise
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

- Usage
Related modules
aws-signer
Signing profiles for Lambda packages and container images, plus the code signing configuration that enforces them. Defaults to Enforce rather than the API default Warn, which logs an untrusted artifact and deploys it anyway.
aws-cognito
A secure-by-default Cognito user pool and app client with optional hosted-UI domain - strong password policy, TOTP MFA, account-enumeration protection, SRP-only flows, and refresh-token revocation.
aws-firewall-manager
WAF, security group and Network Firewall policy applied across an organization. Remediation is off by default so the first apply is a report rather than an edit to resources in every member account.
aws-guardduty
Threat detection with each protection plan - S3, EKS, RDS, Lambda, malware, runtime - a separate decision with its billing dimension stated, plus organization delegation and findings filtered by severity into EventBridge.
aws-iam-access-analyzer
Finds what a principal outside your zone of trust could actually reach, which is the question policy reviews get wrong by reading JSON. External analysis is free; unused-access analysis is a separate, billed analyzer.
aws-iam-roles
Least-privilege IAM roles, managed policies, and GitHub/EKS OIDC federation in one composable module.
