What cache_clear does on Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server
AI agents call cache_clear to permanently remove resources in Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why cache_clear is rated Critical
An AI agent that decides to call cache_clear doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cache_clear safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cache_clear, this is the rule to start with:
cache_clear is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, apply this rule, and every cache_clear call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cache_clear
v12.5.0 \u2014 Bust all four global search caches. Idempotent; safe after manual graph edits to drop stale results. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cache_clear: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server. Nothing to install.
cache_clear is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cache_clear rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cache_clear. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cache_clear is provided by the Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server MCP server (danielsimonjr/memory-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
