-The executed command is expected to print an `ExceCredential` to `stdout`. `k8s.io/client-go`

+After the plugin outputs an `ExecCredential` structure to `stdout`, the `k8s.io/cient-go` library
+looks for a bearer token or client TLS key and certificate (or all three) in the
+`status` field and uses it to authenticate against the Kubernetes API. The library can
+use a bearer token on its own (`token`), a client TLS key and certificate
+(`clientKeyData` and `clientCertificateData`; both must be present), or a combination
+of both methods. `clientCertificateData` may contain additional intermediate
+certificates to send to the server.

-Optionally, this output can include the expiry of the token formatted as a RFC3339 timestamp.
-If an expiry is omitted, the bearer token is cached until the server responds with a 401 HTTP

-is triggered each time the tool using the plugin is invoked.
