WHAT IT DOES

What stateset_clear_cache does on Stateset

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

RISK

Why stateset_clear_cache is rated Critical

Clearing a cache is an irreversible action on the cached data (the cache cannot be 'uncleared'). While the underlying source data is not deleted, the cached entries are permanently removed. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to performance degradation and potential temporary unavailability of fast lookups, rather than loss of source data.

From the tool's definition 'Clears cached data' — permanently removes cached entries, forcing re-fetch; description is truncated ('that aren') suggesting more context is missing

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stateset_clear_cache safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stateset, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For stateset_clear_cache, this is the rule to start with:

stateset_clear_cache Hidden

stateset_clear_cache is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
