Use when Kyverno blocks, changes or fails to police resources in Kubernetes: "admission webhook \"validate.kyverno.svc-fail\" denied the request", "resource ... was blocked due to the following policies", "Policy ... failed" from a ValidatingPolicy, a policy that should block but only reports (Audit), PolicyReports with failures, a policy that is not Ready, mutate or generate rules that do nothing, UpdateRequests stuck, or "failed calling webhook" for kyverno when its pods are down.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kyverno troubleshooting Find out why Kyverno denies, changes or does not police a resource, and propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. Kyverno runs as admission webhooks plus background controllers. Two policy families exist side by side: - **ClusterPolicy and Policy** (`kyverno.io/v1`): rules with `validate`, `mutate`, `generate` or `verifyImages`. Deprecated in Kyverno 1.19 and planned for removal in 1.20; the API server prints a deprecation warning for them. - **CEL policies** (`policies.kyverno.io/v1`): ValidatingPolicy, MutatingPolicy, GeneratingPolicy, DeletingPolicy, ImageValidatingPolicy, and their `Namespaced*` variants. A policy is a cluster-wide guardrail someone chose on purpose. The usual fix is to make the resource comply, not to weaken the policy; changing or excepting a policy is a decision for its owners. The commands use placeholders: `my-namespace`, `my-app`, `my-policy` and `my-rule`. …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-kyverno-troubleshooting@sha256:04cfbc12d6573aaaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.976c038, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
