## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why organize_layers is rated High

organize_layers triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents invoke organize_layers to trigger actions in Adobe Mcp Illustrator. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Adobe Mcp Illustrator:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "organize_layers": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "organize_layers_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
