portainer-mcp-hygiene

portainer-mcp-hygiene is a Cloud, dev platforms & devices skill for AI agents, published by portainer in the portainer-mcp repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates portainer-mcp-hygiene D (56/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

How to drive the Portainer MCP server's tools correctly — both reading and mutating. Reading: project responses with `select` (JMESPath), where the heavy fields live (snapshots, status blocks, managed fields), how to handle non-JSON Docker/K8s proxy endpoints (container and pod logs, stats, exec), and how to interpret results that are easy to misread (e.g. an edge environment's health comes from its heartbeat, not its `Status` field; typed K8s tools use different field names than the raw proxy). Mutating: deploying, scaling, restarting, and deleting Portainer-managed resources — where success payloads are empty and must be verified out-of-band, and where cleanup (orphaned volumes) and recovery (name-based vs id-based calls) have gotchas. Trigger this whenever you're about to call any Portainer MCP tool — including `docker_proxy`, `kubernetes_proxy`, `EndpointList`, `GetAllKubernetes*`, `StackList`, `StackCreateKubernetes*`, `StackDelete*`, `CreateKubernetes*`, `snapshot*`, `Helm*`, or…
