What mysql_audit_restore_backup does on Mysql Mcp
AI agents call mysql_audit_restore_backup to permanently remove resources in Mysql Mcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why mysql_audit_restore_backup is rated Critical
Restoring a snapshot overwrites the current state of the database with a previous snapshot, irreversibly destroying any data or changes made after that snapshot was taken. This is a destructive, non-reversible operation with a critical blast radius as it can wipe out an entire database's current state.

The rule that runs mysql_audit_restore_backup safely
