ComeOnOliver Core Kubernetes Resources
Manage fundamental Kubernetes objects using kubectl-mcp-server's core tools.
When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- User mentions: "pods", "namespaces", "configmaps", "secrets", "nodes", "events"
- Operations: listing resources, describing objects, creating/deleting resources
- Keywords: "show me", "list", "get", "describe", "create", "delete"
Priority Rules
| 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 |
Quick Reference
| 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() |
Pods
get_pods(namespace="default")
get_pods(namespace="kube-system", label_selector="app=nginx")

get_pod_logs(name="my-pod", namespace="default")
get_pod_logs(name="my-pod", namespace="default", previous=True)
delete_pod(name="my-pod", namespace="default")
Namespaces
get_namespaces()
create_namespace(name="my-namespace")
delete_namespace(name="my-namespace")
ConfigMaps
get_configmaps(namespace="default")
get_configmap(name="my-config", namespace="default")
create_configmap(
name="app-config",
namespace="default",
data={"key": "value", "config.yaml": "setting: true"}
)
Secrets
get_secrets(namespace="default")
get_secret(name="my-secret", namespace="default")
create_secret(
name="db-credentials",
namespace="default",
data={"username": "admin", "password": "secret123"}
)
Nodes
get_nodes()
describe_node(name="node-1")
get_nodes_summary()
cordon_node(name="node-1")
uncordon_node(name="node-1")
drain_node(name="node-1", ignore_daemonsets=True)
Events
get_events(namespace="default")
get_events(namespace="default", field_selector="involvedObject.name=my-pod")
Multi-Cluster Support
All tools support context parameter:
get_pods(namespace="default", context="production-cluster")
get_nodes(context="staging-cluster")
