I wanted to get an OK (or not) to return the page title, and timestamp for a given deleted revid. It might also be helpful to return the username.
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.
