What illustrator_load_actions does on Adobe Mcp Suite
AI agents call illustrator_load_actions to retrieve information from Adobe Mcp Suite without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
load | boolean | — | Load it into Illustrator. Default true; false with saveAs only writes the file |
saveAs | string | — | Also write the edited set to this .aia path |
actions | array | — | Edits to actions in the file, by name |
replace | string | — | same_name (default): unload a loaded set with the same name first, so the panel does not get a second copy; all: unload every set first (Replace Actions); none: |
setName | string | — | Load the set under this name instead of the one in the file |
filePath | string | Yes | Absolute .aia path |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
