## Three things you don't get anywhere else

### 1 · Traces for services you never instrumented

One outbound-only agent plus an eBPF DaemonSet
([OTel eBPF Instrumentation](https://github.com/grafana/beyla), née Grafana Beyla). HTTP/gRPC
spans **with cross-service context propagation — including compiled Go binaries** — plus SQL,
Redis and Kafka client spans. No SDKs, no sidecars, no code changes.

<img alt="A real 500 investigated: the failure cascades across three services, correlated error logs on the right" src=".github/assets/shot-trace.png" width="100%">
<div align="center"><sub>A real 500 on <code>GET /checkout</code>: the failure cascades frontdoor → checkout → catalog,
the exact ERROR log lines are correlated on the right. <b>No SDK in any of these services.</b></sub></div>

### 2 · Logs, traces, metrics and topology — one dataset, not four tools

It's not four products bolted together. A log line is two clicks from its distributed trace. The
service map is drawn from **real eBPF traffic**, not a static config — tech logos matched from
container images, health live from RED metrics. PromQL runs on the actual Prometheus evaluation
engine, embedded, over ClickHouse. And the complete Kubernetes inventory — Services, Ingress,
ConfigMaps, policies, volumes — is synced and searchable right beside it. Everything self-hosted;
your telemetry never leaves your infrastructure.

<div align="center"><sub><b>Service map</b> — topology from real traffic flows, not config. Healthy is calm
grey; only anomalies light up. The whole UI follows one instrument-panel design system (RETICLE).</sub></div>

### 3 · And it can fix what it finds — safely

Observability that stops at *"here's the problem"* leaves the hard part to you. rocketplaneIO
doesn't ship its own AI — it's the **MCP interface** your existing agent (Claude Code, Cursor,
anything that speaks MCP) connects to. The agent reads everything above, and acts through
kubectl-shaped primitives (`k8s_get` / `k8s_patch` / `k8s_apply` / `k8s_delete` / `k8s_exec` /
Starlark workflows) on **any resource, CRDs included**.

The guardrail is a transaction. **Nothing mutates outside one** — every change is snapshotted
durably *before* it commits, so cancel, timeout or a later **Revert** restores every before-state
in reverse (LIFO). Each operation is risk-classified by rocketplaneIO, not by the model:

| Level | Examples | Default policy |
|---|---|---|
| ◎ read | `k8s_get`, `k8s_list`, logs, traces, PromQL | runs immediately, no transaction |
| ↺ reversible | `k8s_patch`, `k8s_apply` (snapshot-backed) | runs inside the transaction |
| ◇ disruptive | `k8s_delete` on Pods/Jobs | **a human approves in the UI** |
| △ destructive | any other delete, `k8s_exec`, workflows, **scale-to-0** | **a human approves in the UI** |

Classification is parameter-aware (`replicas: 3` is reversible; `: 0` is destructive) and
fail-closed. Disruptive and destructive operations park until a human approves them — and an API
token can never approve its own proposals.

<img alt="A transaction timeline: every tool call, the parked approval, the human decision, and the rollback — one auditable spine" src=".github/assets/shot-transactions.png" width="100%">
<div align="center"><sub><b>Transactions</b> — the audit trail. What the agent read, what it
changed, who approved what, and <b>↺ revert</b> at run- or transaction-level. Cancel always
terminates — a reaper finalizes anything a dead agent leaves behind and drives the rollback to
its end.</sub></div>

## Quick start

You need Docker and a Kubernetes cluster to point it at (minikube is fine).

**1 — run the platform** (one command)

```bash
curl -fsSL https://rocketplane.io/install.sh | sh
```

That's the whole install: it downloads the compose bundle, generates real secrets,
pulls the [published images](https://github.com/olemeyer?tab=packages&repo_name=rocketplaneIO)
and starts everything. The UI comes up on **http://localhost:4173** (create the owner
account there), the control plane on `:8090`. Re-running the same command later **is**
the update path — secrets are kept, images are bumped to the newest release.

<details>
<summary>Prefer to see every step? The manual compose variant.</summary>

```bash
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olemeyer/rocketplaneIO/main/deploy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yml
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olemeyer/rocketplaneIO/main/deploy/compose/.env.example

# REQUIRED: a real session secret — the control plane refuses to start without one.
echo "RP_SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env

docker compose --env-file .env -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
```

Production mode by default (no anonymous login). For a throwaway localhost trial add
`RP_ENV=dev` to `.env` to skip account setup.
</details>

**2 — connect your cluster**

Open the UI, hit **Connect cluster** — it hands you one copy-paste command that installs the
agent and the Beyla DaemonSet (a rendered `kubectl apply`, or Helm). When the service map draws
your namespaces and spans appear under Traces, you're live — without touching a line of your
code. The installer auto-detects a LAN address your cluster can dial back to; for a local
minikube that is `http://host.minikube.internal:8090`.

**3 — connect your AI agent**

Create an API token under **Settings → API keys** (role `admin` for mutations), then:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http rocketplaneio \
  http://localhost:8090/mcp/orgs/<org>/clusters/<cluster> \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer rp_..."
```

The **Settings → MCP** tab generates this snippet (and the `.mcp.json` / Cursor variants) with
your real IDs filled in. From that moment your agent can investigate freely — and every change it
wants to make runs through a transaction you can watch, gate and roll back live under
**Transactions**.

<sub>Images ship as pinned releases (see <code>RP_VERSION</code> in <code>.env</code>);
<code>edge</code> tracks <code>main</code> for the latest unreleased changes. A platform Helm
chart is the next milestone. Want a demo workload? A Python + Redis shop behind
nginx — the one in every screenshot here — ships in
<a href="deploy/dev/">deploy/dev/</a> (<code>kubectl apply -f deploy/dev/shop-realistic.yaml -f deploy/dev/frontdoor.yaml</code>).</sub>

## Is it safe?

The section every platform team reads first:

- **Outbound-only.** The agent dials out over HTTPS; nothing connects into your cluster, nothing
  listens. Actions are *claimed* by the agent — never pushed in.
- **Auth.** In production the dev-login bypass is off: the first account is created at `/setup`, or
  you wire up Google SSO. Sessions are HMAC-signed with `RP_SESSION_SECRET`, and the control plane
  *refuses to start* with a missing or weak one — no forgeable cookies, no shipped default.
- **Network / TLS.** The control plane speaks plain HTTP on `:8090` — put it behind a TLS
  reverse proxy (or the platform Helm chart's ingress) for anything past `localhost`. The OTLP
  ingest ports `4317`/`4318` are unauthenticated by design; keep them on a trusted network
  (in-cluster or behind the proxy), not on the public internet.
- **RBAC, two blocks** ([`deploy/install.yaml`](deploy/install.yaml)): *observe* is enumerated
  read-only; *act* is deliberately broad — the generic operation set works on any kind, CRDs
  included. The guardrails are architectural, not a resource list: **no mutation outside a
  transaction, risk classification, human approval for hard operations, durable pre-mutation
  snapshots, LIFO rollback, full audit.** Delete the act block (or set `rbac.actions=false` in
  Helm) for a strictly observe-only agent.
- **Secrets:** the inventory shows names, types and key counts — never values. That restraint is
  enforced in agent code; if you'd rather enforce it with RBAC too, delete the one `secrets` rule
  and the agent degrades gracefully.
- **The agent is fenced, not trusted.** It authenticates with an org-scoped API token against
  the same RBAC you use; mutations demand an admin token AND an open transaction; disruptive and
  destructive operations park until a human approves them in the UI — and a token can never
  approve its own proposals. Every tool call, decision and result lands in the transaction
  timeline.
- **eBPF:** Beyla runs as a privileged DaemonSet (kernel ≥ 5.8 with BTF). The capture layer is
  upstream OpenTelemetry tooling — rocketplaneIO is the investigation-and-action loop on top.
- **Footprint** (measured on single-node minikube under continuous synthetic load — indicative,
  not a production benchmark): the rocketplaneIO **agent** is one lightweight pod at **~2m CPU
  and ~10Mi memory**, cluster-wide. **Beyla** is the real cost and scales with request volume —
  **~0.02 core idle, spiking to ~0.25 core under load, ~280Mi memory per node** (bounded; its
  default limit is 512Mi). One agent for the cluster, one Beyla per node.

```

The MCP endpoint lives in the control plane (`/mcp/orgs/{org}/clusters/{cluster}`, Streamable
HTTP, stateless — no sticky sessions across replicas). Read tools cover logs, traces (incl.
single-trace waterfalls and trace↔log correlation), PromQL, the service map and any Kubernetes
object; the mutating tools are the transaction-gated primitives above. Auth is a bearer API
token; every tool call reuses the exact HTTP handlers, validation and RBAC the browser uses.
