Actions
Generic API request. Call any Amazon DynamoDB operation on this connection, for the case where no shipped action covers it yet.

- Describe tableDescribe a DynamoDB table (DescribeTable).
- Get itemGet a single item by primary key (GetItem).
- List tablesList the DynamoDB table names in the account and region this connection points at — the discovery step before Describe table, Get item or Scan, all of which need an exact table name.
- Scan tableRead items out of a DynamoDB table by scanning it — DynamoDB reads every item in the table rather than seeking by key, so use Get item when you know the key and reach for this only to sweep a table.
