What reset_history does on Senior Consult MCP

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

Why reset_history needs a policy

The tool permanently clears conversation history/memory. This is a destructive operation because once the history is cleared it cannot be recovered. However, the blast radius is limited to session memory within this MCP server rather than affecting external systems or financial data, so severity is medium.

From the tool's definition "Clear the conversation memory/history" — clearing/purging stored data is irreversible
