What clear_understanding_cache does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents call clear_understanding_cache to permanently remove resources in Pypi:best Cad, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why clear_understanding_cache is rated Critical
Clearing caches is an irreversible action that destroys stored semantic, constraint, validation, and view data for the active thread. While caches can theoretically be rebuilt, the act of clearing them is non-undoable and could disrupt ongoing operations or lose intermediate state, placing it in the Destructive category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs clear_understanding_cache safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:best Cad, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clear_understanding_cache, this is the rule to start with:
clear_understanding_cache 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 Pypi:best Cad, apply this rule, and every clear_understanding_cache call is checked against it from then on.
