Authentication: Required via API key

Idempotency:

Optional Idempotency-Key header prevents duplicate flushes on retries
Responses cached for 10 minutes per unique key

Use Cases:

Clear stuck or outdated requests from the queue
Reset queue state during development or testing
Cancel all pending requests for an application

Important:

This operation is irreversible
All pending requests in the queue will be cancelled
Requests already being processed will not be affected
