What reset_backtest does on Freqtrade-MCP

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

Why reset_backtest needs a policy

The 'reset' operation on backtest state/results constitutes irreversible data destruction. Once backtest results are reset, the historical record is lost and cannot be recovered without re-running the backtest. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'reset_backtest' combined with description 'Reset backtest state/result on the API server' indicates irreversible deletion or clearing of historical backtest data and results.
