WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cloud_backup_create_restore_job needs a policy

This tool creates a new restore job, which is a reversible write operation that initiates restoration of cluster data from a backup. While restore operations have significant blast radius (they affect cluster data), the operation itself is reversible (the restored cluster can be deleted or the operation cancelled).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a snapshot restore job', which modifies cluster state by initiating a restore operation that will instantiate data from a backup.
