## Install

```

## Agent safety answer

helm manages Kubernetes release state and can deploy workloads into clusters.

- **Credential access:** Uses kubeconfig, cluster tokens, chart repository credentials, and values files that may contain secrets.
- **Remote mutation:** Can install, upgrade, rollback, or delete cluster releases.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can package charts and deploy application artifacts to production clusters.
- **Recommended control:** Gate helm install, upgrade, rollback, uninstall, and repo credential changes.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow template/lint reads; require approval before any cluster mutation or chart publication.
