What clear_task_history does on Schedule Task MCP

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

Why clear_task_history needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes stored run history and logs for a task. While the task itself remains active, the historical data (success/error logs) is permanently purged. This qualifies as Destructive since the deleted history cannot be recovered. Severity is medium because it affects audit/diagnostic data but not the task schedule itself or production data.

From the tool's definition 'Clear stored run history for a task' and 'reset success/error logs' — permanently removes historical run data with no indication of reversibility
