Default false | | `layer` | string | no | | | `width` | number | no | Scale proportionally to this width in points | | `autocad` | object | no | DWG and DXF files only (the DXF/DWG Options dialog) | | `filePath` | string | yes | Absolute path | | `artboardIndex` | integer | no | Artboard index (0-based). Positions are measured from this artboard's top-left corner. Default 0 | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "illustrator_place_image", "arguments": { "filePath": "" } } } ``` ## Why illustrator_place_image is rated High illustrator_place_image triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up. Risk signals: Accepts file system path (filePath) · High parameter count (20 properties) ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
