WHAT IT DOES

What unpublish_content_type does on Contentful MCP Remote Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why unpublish_content_type needs a policy

Unpublishing a content type removes it from public availability but the data remains intact and the action can be reversed by re-publishing. This is a significant Write operation with high severity because unpublishing a content type in Contentful affects all entries of that type, potentially breaking live content, but it is not irreversible destruction.

From the tool's definition 'Unpublish a content type' — unpublishing makes content unavailable publicly but does not delete it, making it reversible (can be re-published)
