+This rule detects unusual request responses in Kubernetes audit logs through the
+use of the "new_terms" rule type. In production environments, default API requests
+are typically made by system components or trusted users, which are expected to
+have a consistent user agent and allowed response annotations. By monitoring
+for anomalies in the username and response annotations, this rule helps identify
+potential unauthorized access or misconfigurations in the Kubernetes environment.
