How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security99
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 32 of 117 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 18 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability54
- 50% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Partial
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 466 tokens (~155/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management87
- Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety88
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 1 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_code" implies "execute" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does. See how to fix → Partial
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
kube_pod_exec Execute Command in Kubernetes Pod ~287
Execute a command in a container of a pod via the Kubernetes API (no kubectl). Captures stdout/stderr and returns them when the command completes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| args | array | – | Exact argv to execute without a shell, e.g., ["/bin/ls","-la"]. Provide this OR command. |
| argv | string | – | Whitespace-separated argv to execute without a shell (e.g., "/usr/bin/env printenv"). Convenience for CLI; prefer args[] when possible. |
| command | string | – | Shell command to run. Defaults to trying /bin/bash first, then /bin/sh, then other common shells. Provide this OR args[]. |
| container | string | – | Container name (optional; defaults to first container) |
| context | string | – | Kubernetes context name or alias (see kube_contexts). Defaults to MCP_KUBE_CONTEXT, then the kubeconfig current-context. |
| namespace | string | – | Kubernetes namespace (defaults to "default") |
| podName | string | yes | Name of the target Pod |
| shell | string | – | Shell binary used when command is provided (default /bin/sh) |
| stdin | string | – | Optional data to write to process stdin before closing it |
| timeoutSeconds | number | – | Maximum time to wait for command completion (default 60s) |
| tty | boolean | – | Allocate a TTY (default false) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| command | array|string | – | – |
| status | – | – | – |
| stderr | string | yes | – |
| stdout | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
run_code Run Kubernetes Analysis Code ~173
Execute bounded TypeScript with top-level await against progressively discovered Kubernetes capabilities. Use tools.list(), tools.search(), tools.help(), and typed namespaces; inspect tools.disabled() for policy denials. Target other clusters with the `context` argument, tools.withContext(name), or a per-call `context`; tools.kubernetes.contexts() lists them. Return a value from the script. Full documentation and types are available through the code-mode prompt and file:///sys/global.d.ts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code | string | yes | TypeScript code to execute via the sandboxed runtime. Top-level await is supported. |
| context | string | – | Default Kubernetes context name or alias for every tool call in the script. Per-call `context` arguments and tools.withContext() take precedence. |
| input | string | – | Optional input payload available to the script. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| error | object | – | – |
| isError | boolean | – | – |
| result | – | – | – |
