restore_asset · Mipiti MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What restore_asset does on Mipiti MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why restore_asset needs a policy

While the tool reverts a soft-delete (technically undoing a destructive action), it is classified as Write rather than Destructive because: (1) it is reversible by soft-deleting again, (2) soft-deletes are typically non-destructive metadata changes in security/compliance platforms, and (3) the tool's purpose is data state modification, not irreversible destruction.

From the tool's definition restore_asset undeletes or revives a soft-deleted asset and its associated control objectives (COs). The description states it 'Un-soft-delete an asset' and 'Revives its tombstoned COs,' indicating a reversal of a deletion state.
