Description

**What I'd like:**
Please include the `crictl` command line tool to make it easy to troubleshoot containers and Pods in Kubernetes.

crictl is a command-line interface for CRI-compatible container runtimes. You can use it to inspect and debug container runtimes and applications on a Kubernetes node. crictl and its source are hosted in the [cri-tools](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools) repository.

The Kubernetes documentation page has a whole section on using `crictl` for debugging: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/crictl/

**Any alternatives you've considered:**
`ctr` is available but you have to include a namespace every time and is more cumbersome to use.
