+prowler_hub_get_check_fixer, prowler_get_resource
+You do not need search_tools — I am naming the tools directly.

+2. prowler_hub_get_check_details — the rule that produced the finding.
+3. prowler_hub_get_check_fixer — if the check has a fixer, get the code. That Python is
+   the most reliable description of what the fix actually does, so ground your steps in
+   it rather than paraphrasing the check description. If there is no fixer, don't say anything
+   about that just continue with your knowledge.
+4. prowler_get_resource — the affected resource's real configuration. Base your guidance
+   on what is actually set on this resource, not on what the check assumes.
+
+Then write the remediation:
+
+- Open with one sentence on what is wrong with this resource specifically.
+- Give the runtime fix using the real identifiers from step 4 — ARN or resource UID,
+  account, region, resource name. No placeholders unless a value genuinely cannot be
+  determined, in which case say so explicitly.
+- Prefer the Prowler Cloud or cloud console path where one exists; give CLI commands
+  when they are the practical route.
+- State what else the change touches and what I should verify after applying it.
+- Close with a short example of what may be producing this in the deployment code
+  (Terraform or equivalent). One block, illustrative, not a migration plan.
+
+Keep the whole answer short. Length is the failure mode here: if it does not fit on a
+screen I will not act on it. Do not ask me for information you can retrieve yourself,
+and if something could not be determined, say so plainly rather than guessing. Add
+clear headers to let me know with a single look what part I am seeing in case I am just

+2. prowler_hub_get_check_details — why the check considers this a problem, and which
+   compliance frameworks it maps to.
+3. prowler_get_resource — the actual configuration, tags, environment markers and
+   exposure signals of the affected resource. This is the evidence that decides the
+   question: the check's severity is a label on the rule, not a measure of my risk.
+4. prowler_cloud_get_finding_triage — check whether this finding already carries a
+   triage decision. If it does, tell me what it is before proposing a new one.
+5. prowler_get_compliance_overview — which frameworks my tenant actually tracks. Cross
+   this with the frameworks from step 2, and ask me whether those are relevant to me
+   before you weigh them heavily.
+
+Then give me a report, in this shape:
+
+- Open with your verdict: is this a real risk for this organization, with a
+  confidence percentage on that judgement.
+- Follow with the evidence that drove it — what about this specific resource and its
+  context makes it exploitable, exposed, or harmless.
+- Name anything you could not determine that would change the answer.
+
+Then ask me how I want to proceed, and wait (try to guide me as much as possible in this
+cession if you are sure it's a risk then cannot be marked as accepted or as not risk).
+Do not write anything to Prowler until I answer. Once I do:
+
+- Real risk → do not fix it here. Tell me to run the fix skill in a separate session,
+  and summarize in one line what that fix will involve.
+- Risk I tell you I accept → prowler_cloud_set_finding_triage_status to accepted risk,
+  then prowler_cloud_create_finding_triage_note containing the reasoning above, so the
+  decision is documented for whoever reads this finding next.
+- Not a risk at all → prowler_cloud_set_finding_triage_status to false positive, then
+  prowler_cloud_create_finding_triage_note explaining why.

+3. prowler_hub_get_check_fixer — if a fixer exists, get it, so you understand what

+4. prowler_list_finding_groups — filter by the check ID from step 1 and sort by failure

+   how many resources are affected, in which providers, accounts and regions. Do not
+   page through individual findings to reconstruct this.

+- The error class in general: what is failing and why it happens, described once rather
+  than repeated per resource.
+- The spread: how many resources, across which accounts, regions and providers. Say
+  plainly whether this is a one-off or systemic.
+- How it affects the organization if left as is.
+- Which affected resources look most dangerous and deserve priority, and why — based on
+  the resources' actual exposure, not on the check's severity, which is identical for
+  all of them.
+- The upstream change that prevents the entire class rather than fixing instances one by
+  one: an SCP or org policy, an IAM boundary, a Terraform module, a baseline. This is
+  the part I most want. If no such systemic change exists, say so and instead give me
