WHAT IT DOES

What illustrator_edit_anchor_points does on Adobe Mcp Suite

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

`anchor`	array	—	set: new anchor [x, y]. Its handles move with it unless given

`target`	object	Yes	Paths, compound paths or groups. With points, exactly one path
`leftHandle`	array	—	set: the handle towards the previous anchor, [x, y]
`rightHandle`	array	—	set: the handle towards the next anchor, [x, y]
`artboardIndex`	integer	—	Artboard index (0-based). Positions are measured from this artboard's top-left corner. Default 0
