WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why restore_item needs a policy

This tool performs a write operation that modifies an item's metadata/state (archival status) in the wardrobe system. It is reversible—the item could be archived again—so it does not qualify as Destructive. The operation has minimal blast radius (affects only a single user's wardrobe item) and no external side effects, making it low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool restores (undeletes/reverts) a previously-archived item, modifying the item's state from archived to active. The word 'restore' indicates a reversible operation that changes data state without permanent destruction.
