WHAT IT DOES

What illustrator_place_image does on Adobe Mcp Suite

AI agents invoke illustrator_place_image 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.

`y`	number	—
`pdf`	object	—	PDF files only (the PDF Import Options dialog)
`name`	string	—
`embed`	boolean	—	Embed instead of linking. Default false
`layer`	string	—
`width`	number	—	Scale proportionally to this width in points
`autocad`	object	—	DWG and DXF files only (the DXF/DWG Options dialog)
`filePath`	string	Yes	Absolute path
`artboardIndex`	integer	—	Artboard index (0-based). Positions are measured from this artboard's top-left corner. Default 0

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs illustrator_place_image 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_place_image, this is the rule to start with:

illustrator_place_image Rate-limited

illustrator_place_image stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
