# Install helmfile Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts. Version 1.5.3 via Homebrew; verified 2026-06-09. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:helmfile ``` ## Agent safety answer helmfile orchestrates Helm releases across environments and clusters. - **Credential access:** Reads kubeconfig, chart repository credentials, values files, and secrets references. - **Remote mutation:** Can apply, sync, and destroy multiple cluster releases. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Deploys application and infrastructure manifests to clusters. - **Recommended control:** Gate sync, apply, destroy, and secret-backed values access. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow diff/template; require approval for cluster mutations or secret values.
