Get the current Kubernetes configuration content as a kubeconfig YAML

List Kubernetes events (warnings, errors, state changes) for debugging and troubleshooting in the current cluster from all namespaces

(integer) - Optional duration in seconds before the object should be deleted. Value must be non-negative integer. The value zero indicates delete immediately. If this value is nil, the default grace period for the specified type will be used

Install (deploy) a Helm chart to create a release in the current or provided namespace

List all the Helm releases in the current or provided namespace (or in all namespaces if specified)

Uninstall a Helm release in the current or provided namespace

Get detailed information about a specific kcp workspace

List all available kcp workspaces in the current cluster

Retrieves the high-level health, topology, and environment details of the Istio service mesh. Returns multi-cluster control plane status (istiod), data plane namespace health (including ambient mesh status), observability stack health (Prometheus, Grafana...), and component connectivity. Use this to

Returns service-to-service traffic topology, dependencies, and network metrics (throughput, response time, mTLS) for the specified namespaces. Use this to diagnose routing issues, latency, or find upstream/downstream dependencies.

Returns a human-readable text summary with current Pod CPU/memory usage (from Prometheus) compared to Kubernetes requests/limits (from the Pod spec). Useful to answer questions like 'Is this workload using too much memory?'

Fetches a list of resources OR retrieves detailed data for a specific resource. If 'resourceName' is omitted, it returns a list. If 'resourceName' is provided, it returns details for that specific resource.

Fetches a single distributed trace by traceid and returns its call hierarchy (service tree with duration, status, and nested calls). Use this after listtraces to drill into a specific trace.

Returns the list of Istio mesh clusters that Kiali can access. Each entry includes its name and whether it is the home cluster (where Kiali is deployed). Call this tool before using meshCluster on other Kiali tools when the target cluster is unknown.

Lists distributed traces for a service in a namespace. Returns a summary (namespace, service, totalfound, avgdurationms) and a list of traces with id, durationms, spanscount, rootop, slowestservice, haserrors. Use gettracedetails with a trace id to get full hierarchy.

Create, patch, or delete Istio, Gateway API, and Inference API config. Supports Istio resources (networking.istio.io, security.istio.io), Gateway API resources (gateway.networking.k8s.io), and Inference API resources (inference.networking.k8s.io) when installed on the cluster. For list and get (read

Read Istio, Gateway API, and Inference API config. 'list' groups by namespace→'group/version/kind'→{valid:[...],invalid:[...]} where valid/invalid arrays contain resource names; omit group/kind to retrieve ALL config types in a single call. Supports Istio (networking.istio.io, security.istio.io), Ga

(string) (required) - kind of the resources (examples of valid kind are: Pod, Service, Deployment, Ingress)

List all the Kubernetes namespaces in the current cluster

Get logs from a Kubernetes node (kubelet, kube-proxy, or other system logs). This accesses node logs through the Kubernetes API proxy to the kubelet

Get detailed resource usage statistics from a Kubernetes node via the kubelet's Summary API. Provides comprehensive metrics including CPU, memory, filesystem, and network usage at the node, pod, and container levels. On systems with cgroup v2 and kernel 4.20+, also includes PSI (Pressure Stall Infor

List the resource consumption (CPU and memory) as recorded by the Kubernetes Metrics Server for the specified Kubernetes Nodes or all nodes in the cluster

Delete a Kubernetes Pod in the current or provided namespace with the provided name

Execute a command in a Kubernetes Pod (shell access, run commands in container) in the current or provided namespace with the provided name and command

Get a Kubernetes Pod in the current or provided namespace with the provided name

List all the Kubernetes pods in the current cluster from all namespaces

List all the Kubernetes pods in the specified namespace in the current cluster

Get the logs of a Kubernetes Pod in the current or provided namespace with the provided name

Run a Kubernetes Pod in the current or provided namespace with the provided container image and optional name

List the resource consumption (CPU and memory) as recorded by the Kubernetes Metrics Server for the specified Kubernetes Pods in the all namespaces, the provided namespace, or the current namespace

List all the OpenShift projects in the current cluster

(string) (required) - Complete YAML or JSON representation of the Kubernetes resource (full desired state, not a partial patch). Include apiVersion, kind, metadata, and the full spec.

Create or update a Kubernetes resource via Server-Side Apply. The manifest is the complete desired state: any field this tool previously set and the new manifest omits is removed. To edit an existing resource, fetch it with resourcesget, modify it, then re-apply the full resource.

Delete a Kubernetes resource in the current cluster by providing its apiVersion, kind, optionally the namespace, and its name

Get a Kubernetes resource in the current cluster by providing its apiVersion, kind, optionally the namespace, and its name

List Kubernetes resources and objects in the current cluster by providing their apiVersion and kind and optionally the namespace and label selector

Get or update the scale of a Kubernetes resource in the current cluster by providing its apiVersion, kind, name, and optionally the namespace. If the scale is set in the tool call, the scale will be updated to that value. Always returns the current scale of the resource

List all available targets
