Destructive tools (photoshop_delete_layer, photoshop_delete_layer_mask) permanently delete resources. There is no undo. An agent calling these in a retry loop causes irreversible damage.
Write operations (photoshop_adjust_brightness_contrast, photoshop_adjust_hue_saturation, photoshop_apply_gaussian_blur) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.
Execute tools (photoshop_execute_script, photoshop_fit_layer_to_document, photoshop_scale_layer) trigger processes with side effects. Builds, notifications, workflows — all fired without throttling.

Yes. The Photoshop server exposes 2 destructive tools including photoshop_delete_layer, photoshop_delete_layer_mask. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
The Photoshop server has 50 write tools including photoshop_adjust_brightness_contrast, photoshop_adjust_hue_saturation, photoshop_apply_gaussian_blur. 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 Photoshop.
59 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 4 are read-only. 55 can modify, create, or delete data.
Register the Photoshop 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.
Starter policies for each. Same risk classification, live on your fleet in minutes.
Deterministic rules across all 59 Photoshop tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
