NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Kagent is an open-source framework for running agentic AI inside Kubernetes clusters. It enables LLM-based agents to plan and execute operational tasks such as diagnosing issues, remediating configurations or interacting with observability tools through Kubernetes-native APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. Its goal is to bring "AgentOps" to cloud-native infrastructure by combining declarative management with autonomous reasoning.
As a CNCF Sandbox project, Kagent should be introduced with care, particularly given the risks of granting LLMs operational management capabilities. Techniques such as toxic flow analysis can be especially valuable when assessing and mitigating these risks.
