What k8s_get_clusterroles does on Multi Cluster Kubernetes MCP Server

AI agents call k8s_get_clusterroles to retrieve information from Multi Cluster Kubernetes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why k8s_get_clusterroles needs a policy

This tool queries and displays RBAC ClusterRole objects and their associated permissions. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify or delete resources, and does not move money. Listing cluster roles is a read-only reconnaissance operation commonly used for auditing access control policies.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly uses 'get' and description states 'List RBAC ClusterRoles with their permission rules' — a pure data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of cluster resources.

How to control k8s_get_clusterroles

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Multi Cluster Kubernetes MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for k8s_get_clusterroles:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "k8s_get_clusterroles": {}
  }
}

k8s_get_clusterroles is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Multi Cluster Kubernetes MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
