What clearList does on ThinkMem

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

Critical Risk

Why clearList needs a policy

This tool permanently and irreversibly deletes all data stored in a ListMemory structure. There is no recovery mechanism or undo capability. The impact severity is high because an AI agent misusing this could lose critical memory data that the LLM depends on for context and information management. This is categorized as Destructive rather than Write because the action cannot be undone and results in total data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '清空ListMemory中的所有元素,此操作不可逆' which translates to 'Clear all elements in ListMemory, this operation is irreversible.' The explicit mention of irreversibility (不可逆) and the destructive nature of clearing all elements confirms this is a…

How to control clearList

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

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

clearList 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 ThinkMem — 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.
