AI agents use restore-document-from-recycle-bin to create or update resources in Mcp Dev — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Dev environment.
Restoring a document is a write operation that modifies state (moves content from recycle bin back to active state) but is reversible since the original delete action can be performed again. It does not permanently destroy data or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'restore-document-from-recycle-bin' and description 'Restores a document from the recycle bin' indicates a reversible modification operation that recovers previously deleted content.

restore-document-from-recycle-bin is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the restore-document-from-recycle-bin rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
