WHAT IT DOES

What restore_agent_version does on BotUyo MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why restore_agent_version needs a policy

This is a Write operation because it modifies agent configuration state reversibly. Although it changes system state, the automatic snapshot mechanism and ability to undo (re-restore to another version) prevents it from being Destructive. Classified as Write rather than Execute because it updates configuration data rather than triggering external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool performs restore/rollback of agent configuration to a previous version. Described as reversible ('you can always undo a restore') with automatic snapshot creation before restoring.
