review-security-k8s-pod from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/review-security-k8s-pod@git:20260616.f70d17b

Pins git:20260616.f70d17b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reviews Kubernetes Pod security contexts for workload-level isolation and privilege escalation risks.

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

# Task

Review Pod configurations (`PodSecurityContext`, `SecurityContext`) for workload vulnerabilities.

# Checks

## 1. Privilege Escalation & Host Breakout

- **Privileged**: Flag `privileged: true`.
- **Host Namespaces**: Flag `hostNetwork: true`, `hostPID: true`, `hostIPC: true`. If `runAsUser: 0` or `runAsGroup: 0`, flag `hostUsers: true` and flag omitted `hostUsers` (since it's true by default).
- **Host Volumes**: Flag any use of `hostPath` volumes (direct node filesystem access).
- **Privilege Escalation**: Require `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false`.

## 2. Capabilities & Isolation

- **Root Execution**: If `hostUsers: false` or if `hostUsers` is omitted, require `runAsNonRoot: true`. Flag `runAsUser: 0` or `runAsGroup: 0`.
- **Linux Capabilities**: Require `capabilities.drop: ["ALL"]`. Flag highly privileged additions (e.g., `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, `CAP_NET_RAW`, `CAP_SYS_MODULE`, `CAP_SYS_PTRACE`, `CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE`).
- **Filesystem**: Require `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` where applicable.
- **Seccomp**: Require seccomp profiles (e.g., `seccompProfile.type: RuntimeDefault`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/review-security-k8s-pod@sha256:a829e850349c3fa8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.f70d17b, 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.
