clear_image_cache
Clean up cached images
Part of the Replicate MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL
AI agents may call clear_image_cache to permanently remove or destroy resources in Replicate. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON CLEAR_IMAGE_CACHE
Without a policy, an AI agent could call clear_image_cache in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Replicate. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
RECOMMENDED POLICY
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.
