Every Scan, Query and PartiQL statement reports items returned, items scanned, efficiency and RCUs consumed — so a FilterExpression that throws away 95% of what you paid to read is obvious, not hidden.

Scan, Query (by table or GSI) and Get Item without writing expressions — or write PartiQL with table and attribute autocomplete.
Items returned · items scanned · efficiency · RCUs, plus a warning when DynamoDB stopped at its 1 MB page. Load more fetches the next page.
Create, edit and delete items with typed attributes (S, N, BOOL, NULL, lists, maps); removed attributes are really removed.
Consumed vs provisioned capacity, throttles and hot-partition signals from DescribeTable — no CloudWatch needed.
Access keys, SSO profiles, or the instance/task role and default credential chain. DynamoDB Local supported via custom endpoint.
Destructive PartiQL on production-tagged connections goes through a confirmation gate; read-only mode blocks writes.
Query by any Global Secondary Index from the builder. LSIs are on the roadmap.
Partition and sort key values are typed from the table's key schema, so numeric IDs and epoch timestamps query correctly.
Yes — Load more continues from the LastEvaluatedKey and accumulates results and cost stats.
Yes, set a custom endpoint URL in the connection form.
