…urces_get - Enhanced the resources_list and resources_get tools to support an optional gotemplate parameter, allowing users to extract specific fields from Kubernetes resources instead of returning full YAML. - Updated descriptions in the input schemas to reflect the new functionality. - Implemented applyGoTemplate function to handle template execution and error management. - Updated the resourcesList function to correctly handle the gotemplate parameter by ensuring that the output is formatted as a table only when the gotemplate is not used. - Enhanced the data structure returned when a gotemplate is specified, ensuring that the items are properly formatted within the response object. This change improves the functionality and output consistency of the resourcesList tool.

Adds an optional gotemplate parameter (same syntax as oc get -o go-template) that lets callers extract specific fields server-side instead of returning full YAML.
Why: LLMs currently receive entire resource YAML even when they only need one field. This wastes context window tokens and slows down responses. With gotemplate, the LLM declares exactly what it needs and the server returns only that — easily 10-100x fewer tokens for targeted queries.
Benefits:
Token efficiency — {{.status.phase}} returns a single value instead of hundreds of YAML lines
CLI parity — uses the same Go template syntax as oc get -o go-template, so templates are portable between CLI and MCP workflows
Server-side projection — iteration, conditionals, and field extraction run on the server, not in the LLM
Backward compatible — parameter is optional; omitting it preserves existing full-YAML behavior
Examples:
resources_list(kind="Pod", gotemplate="{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}\n{{end}}")
resources_get(kind="Application", name="my-app", gotemplate="{{.spec.source.repoURL}}")
