get_supervisor_kubeconfig

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a Supervisor Kubernetes API kubeconfig for a vSphere namespace. Returns YAML with a short-lived session token for authentication.

Instructions

[READ] Get a kubeconfig for the Supervisor K8s API endpoint.

Returns {namespace, kubeconfig} as a YAML string. Use this for Supervisor-level access; use get_tkc_kubeconfig instead to reach workloads inside a TKC cluster. Security: it carries a short-lived session token — treat it as a credential, do not log or share.

Args: namespace: vSphere Namespace to set as the kubeconfig context. target: vCenter in config.yaml; omit for the default.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. Description adds that the returned kubeconfig carries a short-lived session token and advises against logging/sharing. Adds value beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Well-structured with [READ] prefix, clear main description, differentiation, security note, and Args list. Every sentence adds value; no waste.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite no output schema, description explains return format (YAML string). Covers usage guidance, security, parameter details, and alternatives. Complete for a 2-param read tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, but description fully explains both parameters: namespace is 'vSphere Namespace to set as context', target is 'vCenter in config.yaml; omit for default'. Adds meaning beyond schema.

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?

Clearly states it retrieves a kubeconfig for the Supervisor K8s API endpoint. Specifies output format (YAML with namespace and kubeconfig). Explicitly distinguishes from sibling get_tkc_kubeconfig.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool ('Supervisor-level access') vs sibling ('workloads inside a TKC cluster'). Includes security best practice about treating the token as a credential.

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