install_helm_chart

Destructive

Install a Helm chart on Kubernetes with custom values, namespace creation, and template-based deployment to bypass authentication issues.

Instructions

Install a Helm chart with support for both standard and template-based installation

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesName of the Helm release
chartYesChart name (e.g., 'nginx') or path to chart directory
namespaceYesKubernetes namespacedefault
contextNoKubeconfig Context to use for the command (optional - defaults to null)
repoNoHelm repository URL (optional if using local chart path)
valuesNoCustom values to override chart defaults
valuesFileNoPath to values file (alternative to values object)
useTemplateNoUse helm template + kubectl apply instead of helm install (bypasses auth issues)
createNamespaceNoCreate namespace if it doesn't exist
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description aligns with the destructiveHint annotation by indicating installation, which is a mutation. However, it does not add behavioral context beyond that, such as describing the installation process, namespace creation behavior, or potential resource overwrites.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no fluff, but it is overly concise and could benefit from additional structure, such as mentioning the two modes explicitly in the description itself rather than relying on the parameter schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 9 parameters, no output schema, and a destructive annotation, the description is insufficient. It does not explain how the two installation modes differ, when to use them, or what the output of the installation is, leaving the agent underinformed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description does not add additional parameter context, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate given the schema's completeness.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Install' and the resource 'Helm chart', and distinguishes between standard and template-based installation, which differentiates it from sibling tools like upgrade_helm_chart or uninstall_helm_chart.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implicitly hints at template-based installation for auth issues via the useTemplate parameter description, but lacks explicit context or when-not-to-use guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
