How to control clear_queue ↓

AI agents call clear_queue to permanently remove resources in RAG Documentation MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool permanently deletes queued processing tasks with no undo mechanism. While the data loss is limited to the queue itself (not persistent storage), the operation is irreversible and represents a loss of work-in-progress state. An AI agent invoking this without authorization could disrupt documentation indexing workflows.

From the tool's definition The description explicitly states: 'Remove all pending URLs from the documentation processing queue', 'This operation is immediate and permanent', and 'URLs will need to be re-added if you want to process them later.' The tool irreversibly discards queued…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear_queue gives an agent:

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

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

clear_queue 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 RAG Documentation 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.

What does the clear_queue tool do? +

Remove all pending URLs from the documentation processing queue. Use this to reset the queue when you want to start fresh, remove unwanted URLs, or cancel pending processing. This operation is immediate and permanent - URLs will need to be re-added if you want to process them later. Returns the number of URLs that were cleared from the queue. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on clear_queue? +

Register the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_queue: 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 RAG Documentation MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is clear_queue? +

clear_queue is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit clear_queue? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_queue 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.

How do I block clear_queue completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clear_queue. 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.

What MCP server provides clear_queue? +

clear_queue is provided by the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP server (rahulretnan/mcp-ragdocs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every RAG Documentation MCP Server tool call.
