Priority Rules

Priority	Rule	Impact	Tools
1	Dry run before apply in production	CRITICAL	`kubectl_apply(dry_run=True)`
2	Check current state before patching	HIGH	`describe_*` tools
3	Avoid force delete unless necessary	HIGH	`kubectl_delete`
4	Verify rollout status after changes	MEDIUM	`kubectl_rollout_status`

Quick Reference

Task	Tool	Example
Apply manifest	`kubectl_apply`	`kubectl_apply(manifest=yaml)`
Patch resource	`kubectl_patch`	`kubectl_patch(type, name, namespace, patch)`
Delete resource	`kubectl_delete`	`kubectl_delete(type, name, namespace)`
Exec command	`kubectl_exec`	`kubectl_exec(pod, namespace, command)`
Scale deployment	`scale_deployment`	`scale_deployment(name, namespace, replicas)`
