MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
Critical Risk

The most dangerous Photoshop MCP Windows-First tools

Destructive · High photoshop_delete_layer Layer deletion is irreversible data destruction within the document. Destructive · Medium photoshop_delete_layer_mask Deleting a layer mask is an irreversible destructive action — once removed, the mask and its pixel data are permanently lost unless the user manually undoes the action within Photoshop's limited undo history. Execute · High photoshop_execute_script This tool executes arbitrary code (ExtendScript) in the Photoshop application context. Execute · Medium photoshop_fit_layer_to_document This tool triggers an external operation (scaling/transforming a layer in Photoshop) whose effects are visually and permanently applied to the active document.

54 of Photoshop MCP Windows-First's 58 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Photoshop MCP Windows-First

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Photoshop MCP Windows-First, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "photoshop_delete_layer": {
    "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
{
  "photoshop_adjust_brightness_contrast": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "photoshop_adjust_brightness_contrast_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "photoshop_get_document_info": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "photoshop_get_document_info_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 Photoshop MCP Windows-First — 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.

The Photoshop MCP Windows-First server has 47 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.
