What clean_repository_history does on GitHub Auditor MCP Server

AI agents call clean_repository_history to permanently remove resources in GitHub Auditor MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why clean_repository_history needs a policy

This is an orchestrator that coordinates destructive sibling tools. Purging and scrubbing Git history, squashing commits, and removing files from history are irreversible operations. Once history is rewritten and force-pushed, the original state cannot be recovered without a prior backup.

From the tool's definition 'clean_repository_history' orchestrates multiple operations including 'purge_history', 'scrub_ignored_files', and 'squash_noise_commits' — all of which irreversibly modify or destroy Git history
