Summary

Entire documentation page for the $skip operator in Amazon DocumentDB has been removed, including all content, examples, and code samples.

Security assessment

This change removes general documentation about a query operator ($skip) used for pagination. There is no evidence in the diff of any security vulnerability, weakness, or incident being addressed. The removal appears to be a routine documentation cleanup or restructuring, not related to security.

-# $skip
-
-In Amazon DocumentDB, the `$skip` operator is used to offset the starting point of the query results, allowing you to retrieve a specific subset of the matching documents. This is particularly useful in pagination scenarios, where you want to retrieve subsequent pages of results.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `skip`: The number of documents to skip before returning the remaining documents.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$skip` operator to retrieve the second page of results (documents 11-20) from a collection.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.collection.insert([
-      { "name": "Document 1" },
-      { "name": "Document 2" },
-      { "name": "Document 3" },
-      { "name": "Document 4" },
-      { "name": "Document 5" },
-      { "name": "Document 6" },
-      { "name": "Document 7" },
-      { "name": "Document 8" },
-      { "name": "Document 9" },
-      { "name": "Document 10" },
-      { "name": "Document 11" },
-      { "name": "Document 12" },
-      { "name": "Document 13" },
-      { "name": "Document 14" },
-      { "name": "Document 15" },
-      { "name": "Document 16" },
-      { "name": "Document 17" },
-      { "name": "Document 18" },
-      { "name": "Document 19" },
-      { "name": "Document 20" }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.collection.find({}, { "name": 1 })
-                 .skip(10)
-                 .limit(10);
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    [
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 11" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 12" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 13" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 14" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 15" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 16" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 17" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 18" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 19" },
-      { "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "name" : "Document 20" }
-    ]
