WHAT IT DOES

What illustrator_load_swatch_library does on Adobe Mcp Suite

AI agents call illustrator_load_swatch_library 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
`library`	string	—	A built-in library's Window > Swatch Libraries path, e.g. "Gradients > Water", or its last part when that is unique
`replace`	boolean	—	Overwrite document swatches with the same name. Default false (they are left as they are)
`filePath`	string	—	Or an absolute path to a swatch library .ai file
`swatches`	array	—	Only these swatches. Default all

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
