What clear_image_cache does on AI Image MCP Server

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

Why clear_image_cache needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes all cached image analysis results. While the underlying images and original data remain intact, the cached analysis results are permanently purged, requiring costly re-computation. The blast radius is medium because it affects performance and cached work product, but does not delete source images or primary data.
