POLICY

How to control Adobe Mcp Suite

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Adobe Mcp Suite, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "illustrator_adjust_text": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "copy_swatches_illustrator_to_indesign": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "copy_swatches_illustrator_to_indesign_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "illustrator_find_menu_commands": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "illustrator_find_menu_commands_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register Adobe Mcp Suite — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about Adobe Mcp Suite

Can an AI agent delete data through the Adobe Mcp Suite MCP server? +

Yes. The Adobe Mcp Suite server exposes 30 destructive tools including illustrator_adjust_text, illustrator_clean_up, illustrator_delete_artboard. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Adobe Mcp Suite? +

The Adobe Mcp Suite server has 302 write tools including copy_swatches_illustrator_to_indesign, illustrator_add_appearance_attribute, illustrator_add_artboard. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Adobe Mcp Suite.

How many tools does the Adobe Mcp Suite MCP server expose? +

447 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 97 are read-only. 350 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Adobe Mcp Suite? +

Register the Adobe Mcp Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Adobe Mcp Suite tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 447 Adobe Mcp Suite tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
