What clear_cache does on Crypto MCP Server

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

Why clear_cache needs a policy

Clearing all cached data is an irreversible action; once the cache is purged, previously cached market data (prices, OHLCV, order books, etc.) cannot be recovered from the cache. While the underlying data can be re-fetched from exchanges, the act itself is irreversible and could cause temporary denial of cached responses, increased API load, and rate-limiting issues.

From the tool's definition 'Clear all cached data' — permanently removes cached data with no indication of reversibility
