AWS Cognito Admin

Perform Cognito user pool administration without hardcoded pool IDs. All resources are discovered at runtime.

Step 0 — Discover user pools (skip if user already named a pool)

aws cognito-idp list-user-pools --max-results 60 \
  --query 'UserPools[*].{Name:Name,Id:Id}' \
  --output table --no-cli-pager

Present the list and ask the user which pool to work with (or infer from context). If there is only one pool, proceed with it automatically. Store the pool ID as $POOL_ID for subsequent commands.

Step 1 — Look up a user by email or username
