## Why restore_ftp_backup is rated Critical

Restoring a backup replaces current live data (files, databases, configurations) with older versions, which is an irreversible overwrite operation. Any changes made since the backup was taken would be permanently lost. This qualifies as Destructive with critical severity given the potential to wipe all current website data across potentially many hosted services.

From the tool's own definition: "restore_ftp_backup: 'Restore backup file uploaded via FTP' — restoring a backup overwrites existing data irreversibly"

## Use case

AI agents call restore_ftp_backup to permanently remove resources in 20i MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches 20i MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
