k8s-service-path

k8s-service-path is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 55 tokens per session (932 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only Kubernetes diagnostic tool that follows the route from an Ingress or Service to its selected pods, endpoints, and readiness status. An Ingress controls incoming web traffic, while a Service provides a stable way to reach pods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate broken Ingress routing, incorrect Service selectors, missing EndpointSlices, and pods that are running but not ready to serve requests.
Why use it?
It shows exactly where a request stops when a Kubernetes workload is unreachable or receives no traffic.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

k8s-service-path scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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.

Walking it

resources_list({"apiVersion":"networking.k8s.io/v1","kind":"Ingress"})
resources_get ({"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","namespace":"app1","name":"web"})
pods_list_in_namespace({"namespace":"app1"})            // then match against the Service selector
resources_list({"apiVersion":"discovery.k8s.io/v1","kind":"EndpointSlice","namespace":"app1"})

Diagnoses that look identical and are not

Symptom Actual cause How to say it
No endpoints Selector matches no pods "The Service selector app=web matches no pods" — the selector is wrong or the pods are gone
No endpoints Pods exist but none are ready "3 pods match but none are Ready" — a readiness-probe problem, not a wiring problem
No endpoints Pods ready, port mismatch "Pods are ready but no container exposes the target port"
Traffic blocked A NetworkPolicy denies it hand off to k8s-network-policy — this skill does not evaluate policy
Ingress not routing Backend names a non-existent Service "Ingress web routes to Service web-v2, which does not exist" — call this out loudly, it is a common and silent misconfiguration

"No endpoints" is a symptom, never a diagnosis. Always name which of these it is.

Ready is not the same as existing

An EndpointSlice lists both ready and not-ready addresses. A Service with five not-ready endpoints has zero serving capacity but is not empty. Report the two counts separately — collapsing them hides an outage.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
