AI agents need clear rules to manage Kubernetes clusters safely.

Standard documentation is not enough for an AI. They need a machine-readable guide. I call this an AGENTS.md file.

kcp changes how we manage clusters. It uses an API-centric model with workspaces and syncers. This creates a complex environment for an AI to navigate.

Without an AGENTS.md, an AI agent might:

• Deploy resources in the wrong workspace.
• Break tenancy boundaries.
• Cause state drift by ignoring syncer behavior.
• Overload the system with too many requests.

An AGENTS.md file acts as a contract. It must include these four parts:

• Workspace Manifests: These tell the agent exactly which boundaries and permissions it has. • Operational Policies: These set rules for creating or deleting resources. • Escalation Paths: These define what the agent should do when it hits an error. • Forbidden Actions: This is a list of things the agent must never do, like modifying syncer settings.

To keep your clusters safe, your AI agents must follow these mechanics:

• Use token binding to stay within a specific tenant identity.
• Follow RBAC policies to avoid unauthorized access.
• Implement rate limiting to prevent syncer overload.
• Monitor syncer health to avoid data inconsistencies.

If an agent fails to follow these rules, it becomes a security risk. A machine-readable guide turns that risk into precision.
