What clear_memories does on AI Memory MCP Server

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

Why clear_memories needs a policy

This tool permanently deletes all stored memories without recovery options. The phrase "cannot be undone" explicitly confirms irreversibility. Even though the blast radius is limited to the user's memory store (not system-wide), the complete and permanent loss of all conversational context and stored data represents a critical destructive action.

From the tool's definition "Clear all stored memories" and "Use with caution as this cannot be undone" directly indicate irreversible deletion of all data.
