Tool: `kube_get`

Gets one or more Kubernetes resources from a cluster. Resources can be filtered by type, name, namespace, and label selectors. Returns the resources in YAML format. This is similar to running kubectl get .

The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the kube_get MCP tool.
