The rule that runs illustrator_create_arc safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Adobe Mcp Suite, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For illustrator_create_arc, this is the rule to start with:
illustrator_create_arc 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Mcp Suite, apply this rule, and every illustrator_create_arc call is checked against it from then on.
