Successful response

- MeshPassthroughItem: MeshPassthrough controls how traffic to external services (outside the mesh) is handled by the sidecar proxy. It allows you to configure passthrough mode to permit, deny, or selectively allow traffic to specific external destinations based on domain names, IPs, or CIDR ranges.
  - `type` 'MeshPassthrough', required: the type of the resource
  - `mesh` string: Mesh is the name of the Kuma mesh this resource belongs to. It may be omitted for cluster-scoped resources.
  - `kri` string: A unique identifier for this resource instance used by internal tooling and integrations. Typically derived from resource attributes and may be used for cross-references or indexing
  - `name` string, required: Name of the Kuma resource
  - `labels` object: The labels to help identity resources
  - `spec` object, required: Spec is the specification of the Kuma MeshPassthrough resource.
    - `default` object: MeshPassthrough configuration.
      - `appendMatch` object[]: AppendMatch is a list of destinations that should be allowed through the sidecar.
        - `port` integer: Port defines the port to which a user makes a request.
        - `protocol` 'tcp' | 'tls' | 'grpc' | 'http' | 'http2' | 'mysql': Protocol defines the communication protocol. Possible values: `tcp`, `tls`, `grpc`, `http`, `http2`, `mysql`.
        - `type` 'Domain' | 'IP' | 'CIDR', required: Type of the match, one of `Domain`, `IP` or `CIDR` is available.
        - `value` string, required: Value for the specified Type.
      - `passthroughMode` 'All' | 'Matched' | 'None': Defines the passthrough behavior. Possible values: `All`, `None`, `Matched` When `All` or `None` `appendMatch` has no effect. If not specified then the default value is "Matched".
    - `targetRef` object: TargetRef is a reference to the resource the policy takes an effect on. The resource could be either a real store object or virtual resource defined in-place.
      - `kind` 'Mesh' | 'MeshSubset' | 'MeshGateway' | 'MeshService' | 'MeshExternalService' | 'MeshMultiZoneService' | 'MeshServiceSubset' | 'MeshHTTPRoute' | 'Dataplane', required: Kind of the referenced resource
      - `labels` object: Labels are used to select group of MeshServices that match labels. Either Labels or Name and Namespace can be used.
      - `mesh` string: Mesh is reserved for future use to identify cross mesh resources.
      - `name` string: Name of the referenced resource. Can only be used with kinds: `MeshService`, `MeshServiceSubset` and `MeshGatewayRoute`
      - `namespace` string: Namespace specifies the namespace of target resource. If empty only resources in policy namespace will be targeted.
      - `proxyTypes` string[]: ProxyTypes specifies the data plane types that are subject to the policy. When not specified, all data plane types are targeted by the policy.
      - `sectionName` string: SectionName is used to target specific section of resource. For example, you can target port from MeshService.ports[] by its name. Only traffic to this port will be affected.
      - `tags` object: Tags used to select a subset of proxies by tags. Can only be used with kinds `MeshSubset` and `MeshServiceSubset`
  - `creationTime` string, date-time: Time at which the resource was created
  - `modificationTime` string, date-time: Time at which the resource was updated
