Public Preview: Unified tooling in the AKS MCP server

Managing AKS MCP servers can be affected by the number of tools and the amount of context required, which can increase latency and cost. The unified tooling for the AKS MCP Server introduces two new tools in public preview, call_az and call_kubectl, that enable agents to access cluster data through Azure APIs and kubectl. These tools consolidate existing capabilities and reduce the total number of tools in the AKS MCP by 30%.

The open-ended nature of these tools also brings power back to your AI agent, allowing them to customize and call any kubectl or Azure API command of their choosing rather than being restrained by tightly-defined tools. The new tools are available starting from v0.0.12 of the AKS MCP server.
