WHAT IT DOES

What copy_items does on Adobe Mcp Illustrator

AI agents use copy_items to create or update resources in Adobe Mcp Illustrator, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Adobe Mcp Illustrator environment.

RISK

Why copy_items is rated Medium

An AI agent can call copy_items faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Adobe Mcp Illustrator by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs copy_items safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Adobe Mcp Illustrator, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For copy_items, this is the rule to start with:

copy_items Rate-limited

copy_items stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

What risk level is copy_items? +
