What clear_session does on MCP Pyrefly

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

Why clear_session needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes all tracked session data (identifiers), which cannot be undone once cleared. The 'start fresh' language confirms the deletion is a reset with no recovery path. Severity is medium because it only affects session/tracking state rather than production code or financial data.
