Clear all stored memories in universal (session-independent) memory
AI agents call clear_universal_memory to permanently remove resources in consciousness MCP server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes all stored memories in universal memory without any recovery mechanism, which is irreversible and affects all sessions. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write because the action cannot be undone and results in complete data loss. The high severity reflects the potential loss of substantial accumulated context/memory data across all sessions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'clear_universal_memory' and description 'Clear all stored memories in universal (session-independent) memory' directly indicate irreversible deletion of all universal memory data.

Clear all stored memories in universal (session-independent) memory. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the consciousness MCP server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the consciousness MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_universal_memory: 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 consciousness MCP server. Nothing to install.
clear_universal_memory 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_universal_memory 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_universal_memory. 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_universal_memory is provided by the consciousness MCP server MCP server (one710/consciousness). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
