Build style / interface — Kubernetes-native AI agent framework that orchestrates tools via an open Agent Gateway and MCP servers, with CRDs and the Gateway API.
What it actually does — Orchestrates Prometheus, Grafana, Helm, Argo and other tools for cluster diagnostics, root cause analysis and safe changes. Collects agent and LLM traces along with Kubernetes and Prometheus data.
Data / telemetry — Collects agent and LLM traces plus Kubernetes and Prometheus telemetry for diagnostics and analysis.
Interoperability — Interfaces via MCP servers, custom resource definitions (CRDs) and the Gateway API; integrates with open-source and enterprise Kubernetes clusters and popular observability tools.
Deployment model — Runs inside Kubernetes clusters; the open Agent Gateway is donated to the Linux Foundation with enterprise support available.
Notes — Strong Kubernetes workflows, deep observability integrations and policy hooks; brings extensibility via CRDs and a pluggable gateway.
