WHAT IT DOES

What clear_failed_requests does on Max MCP Server

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

RISK

Why clear_failed_requests is rated Critical

The tool irreversibly removes all entries from the dead-letter queue. Once drained, those failed request records are gone and cannot be replayed or recovered, making this a destructive action. Misuse could cause permanent loss of pending operations that were awaiting retry or manual replay.

From the tool's definition 'Drain the dead-letter queue' and 'number of entries removed' — permanently removes queued entries that cannot be recovered after clearing

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs clear_failed_requests safely

clear_failed_requests Hidden

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