Kubernetes Service Path Tracing

Server

k8s-mcp — vendored third-party, read-only, 7 tools. See k8s-network-policy for the shared preflight and the empty-result cautions, which apply here identically.

The path, and the rule about it

Ingress → Service → selector → Pods → EndpointSlice → readiness

Mark every link checked or not checked. A partial trace presented as complete is the failure mode of this skill — "the service is fine" after checking two of five links is worse than saying nothing, because it sends the next person somewhere else.
