## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "clear_alerts",
    "arguments": {}

## Why clear_alerts is rated Critical

Clearing alerts destroys audit/monitoring history and cannot be undone. An AI agent misusing this tool could suppress critical network alerts, hiding ongoing incidents or security events. This is irreversible data removal, placing it in the Destructive category rather than Write.

From the tool's own definition: "'Clear one or more alerts by key' — clearing alerts is an irreversible operation that permanently removes alert records from the system"

## Use case

AI agents call clear_alerts to permanently remove resources in API-Central, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches API-Central:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_alerts"
  ]
}
```
