What system_cleanup does on CyPerf MCP Server

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

Why system_cleanup needs a policy

Cleaning up data to free disk space implies permanent deletion of files or records. This action is irreversible (freed disk space cannot be recovered), placing it firmly in the Destructive category. The blast radius is high because it could remove test results, configurations, or agent data across the CyPerf system.
