What clear_values does on Simple MCP Server

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

Why clear_values needs a policy

This tool performs a bulk delete operation that cannot be undone. It destroys all data in the store at once, making it a Destructive action rather than a simple Write operation. The blast radius is high because an agent misuse could erase entire application state. Confidence is high because the description explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of all stored values.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Clear all key-value pairs from the store.' The operation irreversibly wipes all stored data in a single action.
