WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unarchive_publisher needs a policy

This tool restores archived data to active status, which is a write operation that modifies publisher metadata. It is reversible (can be archived again), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The blast radius is medium because incorrect restoration could activate unintended publishers in ad campaigns, potentially causing billing or operational issues, but the change is not permanent and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unarchive_publisher' and description 'Restore an archived publisher back to active status' indicate a state-change operation that modifies publisher records reversibly.
