What ui_clear does on UI Bridge MCP

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

Why ui_clear needs a policy

An AI agent that decides to call ui_clear doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from UI Bridge MCP is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
