WHAT IT DOES

What create_deployment_with_health_checks does on Kubernetes MCP Server

AI agents use create_deployment_with_health_checks to create or update resources in Kubernetes MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kubernetes MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_deployment_with_health_checks needs a policy

This tool creates a new Kubernetes deployment object with health check configuration. Creation of resources is a reversible write operation—the deployment can be deleted or updated later. While deployments can impact infrastructure, the action itself is Write-category (not Execute, as it doesn't run arbitrary code, and not Destructive, as it's reversible).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_deployment' and description 'Create a deployment with liveness and readiness probes' indicate creation of Kubernetes deployment resource. The 'create_*' prefix and verb 'Create' establish this as a Write operation.
