agent-brain-reset

A command that deletes every document from an Agent Brain server's search index, including the data used for keyword and meaning-based searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to empty the current index, check what will be deleted, and start again with a clean index.
Why use it?
It removes outdated or corrupted indexed content before you rebuild the index. Confirmation is required unless you explicitly skip it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-brain-reset scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Reset Document Index

Purpose

Clears all indexed documents from the Agent Brain server. This removes all vector embeddings and BM25 index data. Use this when you need to completely rebuild the index or remove outdated content.

Usage

/agent-brain:agent-brain-reset [--yes] [--url <url>] [--json]

Parameters

Parameter Required Default Description
--yes, -y No false Skip confirmation prompt and proceed immediately
--url No from config or http://127.0.0.1:8000 Server URL (env: AGENT_BRAIN_URL)
--json No false Output as JSON

Examples

/agent-brain:agent-brain-reset           # Prompts for confirmation
/agent-brain:agent-brain-reset --yes     # Skips confirmation
/agent-brain:agent-brain-reset --json    # JSON output (skips confirmation)

Execution

IMPORTANT: This command requires explicit user confirmation before executing.

Step 1: Check Current Index Status

agent-brain status

Report to the user what will be deleted:

  • Number of documents currently indexed
  • Approximate index size
  • Collections that will be cleared

Step 2: Request Confirmation

Before running the reset, you MUST:

  1. Show the user what will be deleted
  2. Ask for explicit confirmation
  3. Only proceed if the user confirms with "yes" or similar affirmative

Example interaction:

The following will be permanently deleted:
  - 156 indexed documents
  - 1,247 text chunks
  - Vector embeddings (~45 MB)
  - BM25 index data

Are you sure you want to reset the index? This cannot be undone.

Step 3: Execute Reset

Only after confirmation:

agent-brain reset --yes

Expected Output

Resetting Agent Brain index...

Clearing vector store... done
Clearing BM25 index... done
Clearing metadata... done

Index reset complete.
  Documents removed: 156
  Storage freed: 45.2 MB

The index is now empty. Run '/agent-brain:agent-brain-index <path>' to add documents.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
