Restore one admin backup by file name.
AI agents call restore_admin_backup to permanently remove resources in Mealie MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Restoring a backup is a destructive, irreversible operation that overwrites the entire current application state (recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, users, etc.) with the contents of the backup. This cannot be undone and has a critical blast radius if triggered accidentally or maliciously.
From the tool's definition Restore one admin backup by file name — restoring a backup overwrites the current database/state irreversibly, replacing all existing data with the backup contents.
