What clear_agent_cache does on Red Team MCP

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

Why clear_agent_cache needs a policy

Clearing all cached agent instances is an irreversible bulk deletion of cached state. Once cleared, any in-progress or stored agent instances are lost and cannot be recovered from the cache. This fits the Destructive category. Severity is medium because it affects cached (ephemeral) state rather than persistent data, but misuse by an AI agent could disrupt ongoing multi-agent workflows across all 1,500+ models.
