## Why restore_backup is rated Critical

Restoring a backup is a destructive, irreversible operation that replaces the entire Home Assistant system state. Any configuration, automations, or data created after the backup point would be permanently lost. The description itself flags this as DANGEROUS and requires an explicit confirmation flag, indicating the authors recognize the high risk.

From the tool's own definition: "'Restore a full backup by slug. DANGEROUS — requires confirm=True.' — restoring a full backup overwrites the current system state irreversibly, destroying all configuration and data changes made after the backup was taken."

## Use case

AI agents call restore_backup to permanently remove resources in Ha Nexus Agent, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
