WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why appflowy_restore_all_from_trash needs a policy

This tool restores deleted pages, which is a write operation that modifies data (changes page state from trashed to active). While restoration is reversible (pages could be trashed again), the bulk nature of 'all trashed pages' and the potential to restore pages an AI agent should not have access to makes this a high-severity write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Restore all trashed pages in a workspace' indicates a bulk recovery operation that modifies the state of multiple pages by moving them from trash back to active state.
