WHAT IT DOES

What clear_image_cache does on Replicate MCP Server

AI agents call clear_image_cache to permanently remove resources in Replicate MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why clear_image_cache is rated Critical

The tool performs cache clearing, which permanently removes stored image data. While not system-critical, clearing image caches cannot be undone and constitutes irreversible data removal (purging). This is more severe than reversible Write operations but lower than critical data destruction, as the impact is localized to cache rather than primary data storage.

From the tool's definition clear_image_cache - 'Clear the image viewer cache' indicates irreversible deletion of cached image data

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs clear_image_cache safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Replicate MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clear_image_cache, this is the rule to start with:

clear_image_cache Hidden

clear_image_cache is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
