Same coding agent hits 86% vs 60% SRE diagnosis accuracy once given cluster context

AI SRE benchmarked: context beats model choice
Radar team used the public SREGym benchmark to break a live Kubernetes cluster 50 ways, then had the same coding agent (Claude Code) investigate each failure under different setups:
- kubectl CLI only: 60% correct diagnosis within two minutes
- Adding cluster visibility via Radar MCP (what's failing, what recently changed): accuracy jumps to 86%, same model
- Commercial AI SRE tools compared: several well-known names underperformed (details on Radar's site)
@tianyinxu endorsed the speed/cost/effectiveness framing and the MCP-vs-kubectl interface debate, calling for deeper analysis.
