What clear_test_cases does on MCPGex

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

Critical Risk

Why clear_test_cases needs a policy

This tool permanently deletes all stored test cases. While the data is application-level (regex test cases rather than critical business data), the action is irreversible and cannot be undone without re-adding each test case manually. It qualifies as Destructive due to the bulk, permanent nature of the deletion.

From the tool's definition 'Clear all test cases to start fresh' — irreversibly removes all existing test cases

How to control clear_test_cases

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_test_cases"
  ]
}

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

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