What restore-database does on MCP Firebird

AI agents call restore-database to permanently remove resources in MCP Firebird — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why restore-database needs a policy

A database restore operation replaces the current live database with a backup, permanently and irreversibly overwriting all data added or modified after the backup point. This is among the most destructive operations possible on a database system, with a blast radius covering the entire database and all its data.

From the tool's definition 'Restores a Firebird database from a backup' — restoring a database overwrites the existing database with backup contents, irreversibly destroying any data written since the backup was taken.
