What clear_basket does on Food402

Critical Risk

Why clear_basket needs a policy

Clearing the entire cart removes all items without the ability to recover them, making it a destructive action. While the blast radius is limited to cart contents (no financial transaction completed yet), the action is irreversible within the session context.

From the tool's definition "Clear the entire cart" — removes all items from the basket irreversibly

How to control clear_basket

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Food402, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clear_basket:

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

clear_basket 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 Food402 — 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.
