Core Kubernetes resource management for pods, namespaces, configmaps, secrets, and nodes. Use when listing, inspecting, or managing fundamental K8s objects.
The English summary is being prepared. Showing the original description.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Manage fundamental Kubernetes objects using kubectl-mcp-server's core tools.
Use this skill when:
| Priority | Rule | Impact | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check namespace exists before operations | CRITICAL | get_namespaces |
| 2 | Never expose secrets in plain text | CRITICAL | Handle get_secret output carefully |
| 3 | Use labels for filtering | HIGH | label_selector parameter |
| 4 | Check events after changes | MEDIUM | get_events |
| Task | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| List pods | get_pods | get_pods(namespace="default") |
| Describe pod | describe_pod | describe_pod(name, namespace) |
| Get logs | get_pod_logs | get_pod_logs(name, namespace) |
| List namespaces | get_namespaces | get_namespaces() |
| Get configmap | get_configmap | get_configmap(name, namespace) |
| List nodes | get_nodes | get_nodes() |
