Clear all system errors from the Syncthing error log.
AI agents call clear_errors to permanently remove resources in Syncthing MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Clearing error logs is an irreversible operation — once cleared, the error records are permanently removed and cannot be recovered. This qualifies as Destructive. The blast radius is medium since it only affects error log data, not file synchronization configurations or actual files.

Clear all system errors from the Syncthing error log. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Syncthing MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Syncthing MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_errors: 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 Syncthing MCP Server. Nothing to install.
clear_errors 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 clear_errors 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 clear_errors. 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.
clear_errors is provided by the Syncthing MCP Server MCP server (zaphodsdad/syncthing-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
