WHAT IT DOES

What restore_from_trash does on AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server

AI agents use restore_from_trash to create or update resources in AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why restore_from_trash is rated Medium

Restoring files from trash creates or modifies the state of the file system (reinstatement of a deleted file in its original location). While reversible (the file can be deleted again), this is a data modification operation. It does not permanently destroy data (Destructive), does not run arbitrary code (Execute), and does not retrieve data without side effects (Read).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Restore a file from the trash to its original location' — this modifies the file system state by moving a file from trash back to its original location, which is a reversible write operation.
