RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs merge_swatches 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 merge_swatches, this is the rule to start with:

merge_swatches Rate-limited

merge_swatches 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.

FAQ

Questions about merge_swatches

What does the merge_swatches tool do? +

Merge swatches into the first one named (Swatches panel > Merge Swatches): every fill, stroke, text colour and gradient stop that uses one of the other swatches is repainted with the first, then the others are deleted. A global or spot swatch is matched wherever it is used, keeping each use\. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Adobe Mcp Illustrator MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on merge_swatches? +

Register the Adobe Mcp Illustrator MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for merge_swatches: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adobe Mcp Illustrator. Nothing to install.

What risk level is merge_swatches? +

merge_swatches is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit merge_swatches? +

How do I block merge_swatches completely? +
