Clear the saved project state so the server starts fresh next session.
AI agents call clear_saved_state to permanently remove resources in Spring Api Intel — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool destroys saved project state that cannot be undone. While the blast radius is medium (affects analysis/caching only, not production data or irreplaceable source code if repos are separately cloned), the action is fundamentally irreversible. Users lose all cached analysis and must rebuild project indexes.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'clear_saved_state' and description says 'Clear the saved project state' — this irreversibly removes persisted project analysis data without recovery mechanism.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Clear the saved project state so the server starts fresh next session. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Spring Api Intel MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Spring Api Intel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_saved_state: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Spring Api Intel. Nothing to install.
clear_saved_state is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_saved_state rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clear_saved_state. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
clear_saved_state is provided by the Spring Api Intel MCP server (mparth14/spring-api-intel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
clear_saved_state is one line of Spring Api Intel's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
