list_packages
List installed packages across Helm, workloads, CRDs, Argo, and Flux, showing sources, versions, and health. Answer 'what's installed?' in a single call without merging separate queries.
Instructions
List installed packages (Helm releases, label-managed workloads, CRDs, Argo Applications, Flux HelmReleases + Kustomizations) with their sources, versions, and health. Each row carries a sources array (H=Helm API, L=workload labels, C=CRD registrations, A=Argo declaration, F=Flux declaration) so the caller can see WHY this package is detected; the MCP response also includes sourceLegend mapping those stable codes to readable meanings, plus a contributors array with per-source detail (each source's view of health/version, plus the GitOps controller resource identity in declarationName/declarationNamespace for sources A and F). Aggregated row-level health is worst-of contributors; row-level version is first-source-priority — read contributors to detect same-cluster disagreement. Use to answer 'what's installed?' / 'what version of cert-manager is running?' / 'are there orphaned operators?' in a single call instead of combining list_helm_releases + list_resources + manual merge. Filter by namespace, source, or chart substring. Response includes sourcesErrored listing any sources that failed (e.g. RBAC denied for Helm release secrets, Helm client not initialized, GitOps informer errors other than the controller's CRDs being absent). When this is non-empty, results are still returned but are partial — fewer rows than expected may indicate a dropped source rather than nothing installed. ArgoCD/FluxCD CRDs that are simply not installed in the cluster do NOT appear in sourcesErrored.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| chart | No | case-insensitive substring filter on chart name. | |
| source | No | limit to rows where this source contributed. Stable response codes are H (Helm API), L (workload labels), C (CRDs), A (Argo Application), F (Flux HelmRelease/Kustomization); this MCP tool also accepts verbose aliases helm, labels, crds, argocd, and fluxcd. The response includes sourceLegend so agents do not have to remember the single-letter codes. The response field sourcesErrored lists sources that failed (e.g. RBAC denied for Helm release secrets) — fewer rows than expected may mean a source dropped out, not that nothing is installed. | |
| namespace | No | limit to packages in this namespace (release-namespace match). Default: all namespaces. |
