What illustrator_view_artboard does on Adobe Mcp Suite
AI agents call illustrator_view_artboard 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
fit | string | — | Fit this artboard, or every artboard, in the window. Default artboard unless zoom is given |
zoom | number | — | Instead of fitting: zoom factor centred on the artboard (1 = 100%) |
artboardIndex | integer | Yes | Artboard index (0-based). Positions are measured from this artboard's top-left corner. Default 0 |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
