WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why restore_source_version needs a policy

Restoring source code is a state-changing operation that modifies project files, but it is not destructive because the previous state remains recoverable and the change can be undone by restoring to another version.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Restore project source to a previous version' — this modifies project source code by reverting it to a prior state. The action is reversible (can restore to a different version again), distinguishing it from destructive deletion.
