Cilium's policy surface is broader than native Kubernetes NetworkPolicy — <code>CiliumNetworkPolicy</code> adds L7 rules, FQDN matching, ICMP control, and identity-based selectors; <code>CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy</code> applies cluster-wide; <code>CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy</code> controls SNAT egress IPs; and <code>policy-default-local-cluster</code> changes how policy evaluates across ClusterMesh.</p>\n<h2>Lean operating rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer live cluster evidence (<code>kubectl get networkpolicies,ciliumnetworkpolicies,ciliumclusterwidenetworkpolicies,ciliumegressgatewaypolicies -A -o yaml</code>, <code>cilium policy get</code>, <code>cilium clustermesh inspect-policy-default-local-cluster</code>, and Hubble flow observation) when the active client exposes it; otherwise fall back to official Cilium documentation (docs.cilium.io) and sanitized YAML.</li>\n<li>Separate confirmed facts from inference. If Cilium agent state, ClusterMesh peer status, or Hubble flow data was not queried, say so.</li>\n<li>Treat <strong>removal of a default-deny <code>NetworkPolicy</code></strong> in a namespace as a critical finding — pods become reachable from any source/destination unless another policy provides isolation.</li>\n<li>Treat <code>CiliumNetworkPolicy</code> egress with <code>toCIDRSet: [{cidr: 0.0.0.0/0}]</code> (no <code>except</code> for sensitive CIDRs) as a critical finding — unrestricted egress is a documented data exfiltration path.</li>\n<li>Treat any change to <code>policy-default-local-cluster</code> in a ClusterMesh deployment as critical-blast-radius — every existing policy's cross-cluster semantics flip simultaneously.</li>\n<li>Challenge <code>CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy</code> with the same <code>egressIP</code> used in two policies — silent connection breakage when both match.</li>\n<li>Challenge L7 rules in <code>CiliumNetworkPolicy</code> for namespaces where Envoy proxy is not enabled — L7 fields require the proxy.</li>\n<li>Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/mcp-and-evidence.md\">Evidence path and tooling</a> — use when choosing live cluster evidence, confirming Cilium version and ClusterMesh state, or switching to documentation mode.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the full review, applying stress checks across the three policy formats and ClusterMesh, or formatting the final answer.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when you need the detailed Cilium documentation list, CRD schema, and grounded insights.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scoped target (namespace <code>NetworkPolicy</code>, namespace <code>CiliumNetworkPolicy</code>, cluster-wide <code>CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy</code>, <code>CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy</code>) and evidence level,</li>\n<li>the default-deny posture in the affected namespace(s),</li>\n<li>the L7 enforcement assessment (Envoy proxy enabled / required) and whether L7 rules will actually run,</li>\n<li>the ClusterMesh assessment when applicable (<code>policy-default-local-cluster</code> semantics),</li>\n<li>the safest next actions and rollback plan,</li>\n<li>the assumptions or blockers that prevent stronger conclusions.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1535,"isText":true},{"path":"references/mcp-and-evidence.md","sizeBytes":2937,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":4999,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":8864,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3932,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
