MCP Prompts#

Cloud Native MCP Server ships with built-in MCP prompts that agents can fetch before they start calling tools.

These prompts are meant for:

  • incident triage
  • workload troubleshooting
  • service connectivity diagnosis
  • rollout recovery
  • safe remediation
  • observability correlation
  • Argo CD delivery diagnosis
  • LLM application investigation

release_regression_diagnosisComposite diagnosis for release or rollout regressions
telemetry_gap_diagnosisComposite diagnosis for missing telemetry across collectors and backends
end_to_end_request_path_diagnosisComposite diagnosis for user-facing request failures across components

Operating Model#

The prompts follow a few fixed rules:

  • start read-only first
  • prefer summary tools before full-detail tools
  • use exact runtime tool names
  • separate facts from inference
  • require explicit confirmation before state-changing actions

Suggested Client Flow#

  1. List prompts from the MCP server.
  2. Select the prompt that best matches the user request.
  3. Fetch the prompt with arguments such as namespace, kind, name, symptom, or time_range.
  4. Let the agent follow the embedded workflow and tool ordering.

Availability#

Prompt availability follows enabled services:

  • aggregate endpoints expose the full prompt catalog, filtered by enabled services
  • service-specific endpoints expose only prompts that match that service
  • prompts whose required services are disabled are filtered out or rejected by middleware
