toggle_global_edit Rate-limited

toggle_global_edit 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 toggle_global_edit

What does the toggle_global_edit tool do? +

Start or stop Global Edit (Select > Start/Stop Global Edit): with an object selected it starts, and edits to that object then apply to every similar object; run it again to stop. Illustrator does not report whether Global Edit is on; the result shows the selection afterwards. The matching options (appearance, size, artboards) are set in the Properties panel. 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.

Register the Adobe Mcp Illustrator MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for toggle_global_edit: 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 toggle_global_edit? +
