Clear all data for an application
AI agents call adb_clear_data to permanently remove resources in Openclaw Adb — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently erases application data without possibility of recovery. While not as broad as a factory reset, it irreversibly destroys user data specific to an application. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone, making it more severe than Write operations (which are reversible).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'adb_clear_data' with description 'Clear all data for an application' — directly deletes all stored application data irreversibly.
Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Clear all data for an application. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Openclaw Adb MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Openclaw Adb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adb_clear_data: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Openclaw Adb. Nothing to install.
adb_clear_data is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the adb_clear_data rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for adb_clear_data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
adb_clear_data is provided by the Openclaw Adb MCP server (wilsonbeam/openclaw-adb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
