How to control pyp6xer_clear_cache

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PyP6Xer MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pyp6xer_clear_cache:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "pyp6xer_clear_cache"
  ]
}

pyp6xer_clear_cache 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 PyP6Xer MCP Server — 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.
