Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 111 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name StatelessServer.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 27 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 111 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 111 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    89 of 89 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-04-19T19:56:53.390591Z, which is older than 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 27

apply_k8s_manifest

Applies a Kubernetes manifest to a cluster using server-side apply. This is similar to running `kubectl apply --server-side`.

Discovered
cancel_operation

Cancels a specific GKE operation.

Discovered
check_k8s_auth

Checks whether an action is allowed on a Kubernetes resource. This is similar to running `kubectl auth can-i`.

Discovered
create_cluster

Creates a new GKE cluster in a given project and location. It's recommended to read the [GKE documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/configuration-overview) to understand cluster configuration options. For regional locations, cluster creation will default to Autopilot mode, as recommended by GKE best practices. If the user explicitly wants to create a Standard cluster, you need to set autopilot.enabled=false in the cluster configuration. Clusters in zonal locations are always Standard clusters. If a Standard cluster configuration has neither nodePools nor initialNodeCount, the cluster is created without any nodes (older GKE versions reject the request), so include nodePools or initialNodeCount when the user needs nodes to run workloads. This is similar to running `gcloud container clusters create-auto` or `gcloud container clusters create`.

Discovered
create_node_pool

Creates a node pool for a specific GKE cluster.

Discovered
delete_k8s_resource

Deletes a Kubernetes resource from a cluster. This is similar to running `kubectl delete`.

Discovered
describe_k8s_resource

Shows the details of a specific Kubernetes resource. This is similar to running `kubectl describe`.

Discovered
diagnose_k8s_workload

Collects a correlated incident snapshot for a Kubernetes workload (Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet), verifying referenced ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PVCs, warning events, and automatically deduplicating container error logs.

Discovered
get_cluster

Gets the details of a specific GKE cluster.

Discovered
get_k8s_cluster_health

Computes a high-level health scorecard across nodes, workloads, system pods, and control-plane components (GKE cluster state, admission webhooks, and API Priority and Fairness).

Discovered
get_k8s_cluster_info

Gets cluster endpoint information. This is similar to running `kubectl cluster-info`.

Discovered
get_k8s_log_summary

Fetches and deduplicates container logs using pattern fingerprinting to reduce token usage. Prefer this over get_k8s_logs when triaging crashes or noisy logs.

Discovered
get_k8s_logs

Gets logs from a Kubernetes container in a pod. This is similar to running `kubectl logs`.

Discovered
get_k8s_resource

Gets one or more Kubernetes resources from a cluster. Resources can be filtered by type, name, namespace, and label selectors. Returns the resources in YAML format. This is similar to running `kubectl get`.

Discovered
get_k8s_rollout_status

Checks the current rollout status of a Kubernetes resource. This is similar to running `kubectl rollout status`.

Discovered
get_k8s_version

Retrieves Kubernetes client and server versions for a given cluster. This is similar to running `kubectl version`.

Discovered
get_node_pool

Gets the details of a specific node pool within a GKE cluster.

Discovered
get_operation

Gets the details of a specific GKE operation.

Discovered
list_clusters

Lists GKE clusters in a given project and location. Location can be a region, zone, or '-' for all locations.

Discovered
list_k8s_api_resources

Retrieves the available API groups and resources from a Kubernetes cluster. This is similar to running `kubectl api-resources`.

Discovered
list_k8s_cluster_issues

Scans a cluster or namespace for abnormal pods (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff), node pressure, stalled rollouts, quota exhaustion, PDB blocks, admission webhook risks, and API Priority and Fairness issues.

Discovered
list_k8s_events

Retrieves events from a Kubernetes cluster. This is similar to running `kubectl events`.

Discovered
list_node_pools

Lists the node pools for a specific GKE cluster.

Discovered
list_operations

Lists GKE operations in a given project and location. Location can be a region, zone, or '-' for all locations.

Discovered
patch_k8s_resource

Patches a Kubernetes resource. This is similar to running `kubectl patch`.

Discovered
update_cluster

Updates a specific GKE cluster.

Discovered
update_node_pool

Updates a specific node pool within a GKE cluster.
