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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "stateset_clear_cache",
    "arguments": {}

## 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 own definition: "'Clears cached data' — permanently removes cached entries, forcing re-fetch; description is truncated ('that aren') suggesting more context is missing"

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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