What reset_branch does on Supabase MCP Server

Why reset_branch needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible action on database migrations. Resetting a branch to a prior version destroys the current migration state and cannot be easily undone without manual recovery. While it targets a development branch (lower blast radius than production), the inability to undo the operation and potential for data loss places it in the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Resets migrations of a development branch to a prior version.' Resetting migrations is an irreversible operation that rolls back schema changes and potentially loses committed migration state.
