# Install kustomize

Template-free customization of Kubernetes YAML manifests. Version 5.8.1 via Homebrew; verified from local package data.

## Install

```sh
sudo av install brew:kustomize
```

## Agent safety answer

kustomize builds Kubernetes manifests that are commonly applied to clusters.

- **Credential access:** Reads manifest files that may include secret generators or config references.
- **Remote mutation:** Build is local, but output is intended for cluster mutation.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can generate deployable Kubernetes artifacts.
- **Recommended control:** Gate secret-generator inputs and downstream apply operations.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow build output review; require approval before applying generated manifests or reading secret files.
