Its design centers on DevOps and platform-engineering use cases: agents run close to Kubernetes workloads, use cluster-native APIs, and can coordinate multi-step operational tasks. ### Adoption history A 2025 project blog post described the first 100 days as reaching CNCF Sandbox status, more than 100 contributors, and more than 1,000 GitHub stars. Release metadata shows frequent 0.x releases through 2025 and 2026, consistent with a fast-moving early-stage cloud-native project. ### How it is used Users install kagent into a Kubernetes environment, define agents and tools, connect an LLM provider, and use the framework to automate investigation, remediation, and workflow tasks around cluster operations. ### Why package nerds care For package managers, kagent is part of the 2025-2026 wave of CLIs that package LLM-agent infrastructure as normal cloud-native tooling rather than as a standalone chat application. The Homebrew formula gives platform engineers a familiar entry point into that stack. ### Timeline - 2025: kagent created at Solo.io. - 2025: Project accepted as a CNCF Sandbox project. - 2025-06-10: v0.3.13 appears in the public GitHub release feed. - 2026-06-29: v0.10.0-beta1 published. ### Related projects - Related projects and standards include Kubernetes, CNCF, Model Context Protocol servers, kgateway, kmcp, and other cloud-native agent frameworks. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** kagent - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [nanobot](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nanobot/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, automation, cli, developer-tools. - [ralph-orchestrator](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ralph-orchestrator/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, automation, cli, developer-tools. - [aoe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aoe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [gbox](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gbox/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [gptscript](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gptscript/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, developer-tools, llm. - [oh-my-agent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/oh-my-agent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [omnara](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/omnara/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [atomist-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/atomist-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: automation, cli, developer-tools. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
