What make_app_clear_txn does on Algorand MCP
AI agents invoke make_app_clear_txn to trigger actions in Algorand MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why make_app_clear_txn is rated High
This tool creates and executes an Algorand application clear state transaction, which removes an account's local state from a smart contract. While it doesn't delete the application itself, clearing local state is a significant blockchain operation that triggers smart contract logic (the ClearStateProgram) and is irreversible on-chain.

The rule that runs make_app_clear_txn safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Algorand MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For make_app_clear_txn, this is the rule to start with:
make_app_clear_txn stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Algorand MCP, apply this rule, and every make_app_clear_txn call is checked against it from then on.
