WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unarchive_zone needs a policy

This is a Write operation because it updates the status field of an existing zone resource, changing it from archived to active. This is reversible (can be re-archived), so it does not qualify as Destructive.

From the tool's definition 'Restore an archived standard zone back to active status' — the tool modifies the state of a zone entity from archived to active, reversing a prior destructive action but not destructing data itself.

Verdict

unarchive_zone Rate-limited

unarchive_zone stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
