Disable or reset the Execution Transcript in Google Apps Script

Question

Is it possible to disable or reset the Execution Transcript in Google Apps Script?

If not, what would be the best way to run a script that requires sensitive access tokens for API calls?

Execution transcripts are automatically cleared after a set time or after next run — TheMaster
@TheMaster, thanks for the input and sorry my question wasn't so clear. What I meant to ask was if it's possible to manually reset the execution transcript once the script has ran, without having to wait for the next run or a pre-defined amount of time. — Luís Ramalho

Use a time-based trigger to invoke a simple dummy script:

function clearIt() {
  Logger.log("hi");
}

This script could be invoked every minute, or specifically invoked via one-time trigger to occur after specific other functions. If you go the one-time route you'll need to delete the invoking trigger to avoid accumulation:

function sensitive() {
  ...
  ScriptApp.newTrigger("newExecutionTranscript")
    .timeBased().after(1) // runs at up to 15m later
    .create();
}

function newExecutionTranscript(e) {
  const invoker = (!e) ? null : ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers()
      .filter(function (t) {
        return t.getUniqueId() === e.triggerUid;
      })[0];
  if (invoker)
    ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(invoker);
  Logger.log("Done");
}
