in theorie that would be no problem as long as you would respect the
ar_deleted-field.
But in practice it is not that easy, because many revisions, which would
oversighted today, were simply deleted in past (I guess enwp is similar to
dewp here).
So I can not allow such a webtool were you insert the rev_id and get the
page_name back. But as far as I understand you, the main-usage for your
webtool would be to fix a corrupt database for a bot; so why not just fix the
database with data from the toolserver, without providing the data to the
world (that would be ok for me)?
Sincerly,
DaB.
