What clear_spreadsheet_range does on Gg

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

Why clear_spreadsheet_range needs a policy

Clearing all values in a spreadsheet range is a destructive operation: the data is wiped and cannot be recovered through the tool itself. The range format (e.g., 'Sheet1!A1:D10') could cover arbitrarily large portions of a spreadsheet, giving this tool a high blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition 'Clear all values in a range' — irreversibly removes data from a spreadsheet range
