Implementation Reference

  • The execution handler for the 'describe-secret' tool. It constructs a 'kubectl describe secret' command using the provided secret name and optional namespace, executes it, and returns the stdout output.
    case "describe-secret": {
      const { secret, namespace } = args;
      const nsArg = namespace ? `-n ${namespace}` : "";
      const cmd = `kubectl describe secret ${secret} ${nsArg}`;
      const { stdout } = await execAsync(cmd);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: stdout || "No secret details found" }]
      };
    }
  • The tool schema definition including name, description, and input schema for validating arguments: secret (required string), namespace (optional string).
    {
      name: "describe-secret",
      description: "Describe details of a Kubernetes secret",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          secret: { 
            type: "string",
            description: "The name of the secret to describe"
          },
          namespace: { 
            type: "string",
            description: "The namespace of the secret (optional, defaults to current context namespace)"
          }
        },
        required: ["secret"]
      }
    },
  • server.js:1392-1394 (registration)
    Registration of the describe-secret tool as part of the tools list returned in response to ListToolsRequestSchema.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
      return { tools };
