get_oke_cluster · OCI MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What get_oke_cluster does on OCI MCP Server

AI agents call get_oke_cluster to retrieve information from OCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why get_oke_cluster needs a policy

This tool retrieves cluster information from OCI without modifying, deleting, or executing operations on those clusters. However, Kubernetes cluster details (endpoints, configurations, credentials) can be sensitive, elevating severity from 'low' to 'medium'.
