Collects bounded packet captures from AKS nodes and Azure network configuration for wire-level evidence. WHEN: "capture packets on an AKS node", "take a pcap", "run tcpdump on AKS", "prove where packets drop". Use for explicit packet-capture intent after read-only diagnostics, not general AKS connectivity or ingress troubleshooting.

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

# AKS Network Capture

## Quick Reference

| Use | Requires | Safety |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AKS pcap evidence | `kubectl`; `az` for Azure evidence | Bounded, pinned, least privilege |

## When to Use This Skill

Use for explicit packet capture after read-only checks, not generic connectivity failures.

## MCP Tools

Azure MCP's AKS area provides cluster and node-pool metadata, not Kubernetes
command execution or packet capture.

## Host Capability Gate

Before executing the workflow, confirm that the host permits the required
Bash or PowerShell execution, `kubectl` access to the bound cluster, `az` for
Azure evidence, access to the bundled scripts, and an approved artifact
destination. A governed Azure CLI tool alone does not establish that shell,
Kubernetes commands, or artifact operations are supported.

If a required capability is unavailable or prohibited, state that capture
execution is unavailable in this host. Analyze supplied, appropriately
redacted evidence or give the operator a target-bound collection/capture plan;
do not claim to have run it. Never route `kubectl` through Azure MCP, add an
unapproved execution path, or bypass host policy. Host support does not replace

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/aks-network-capture@sha256:b79d2ce1fed72af8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-placeholder, 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.
