WHAT IT DOES

What illustrator_execute_menu_command does on Adobe Mcp Suite

AI agents invoke illustrator_execute_menu_command to trigger actions in Adobe Mcp Suite. 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`target`	object	—	Select these items first. Many commands act only on the selection
`command`	string	Yes	executeMenuCommand name
`allowUnknown`	boolean	—	Run a name that is not in the known command list. Default false

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why illustrator_execute_menu_command is rated High
