RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs illustrator_import_text 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_import_text, this is the rule to start with:

illustrator_import_text Rate-limited

illustrator_import_text 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.
