THE RISK

Why clear_cart needs a policy

'Empties the cart' is an irreversible bulk removal of all items from the shopping cart. While a cart is not permanent data, clearing it destroys all previously added items at once with no partial undo — consistent with Destructive. Severity is high because an AI agent misusing this could silently wipe a carefully assembled grocery order.

POLICY

How to control clear_cart

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Frisco MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clear_cart:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_cart"
  ]
}

clear_cart disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Frisco MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
