WHAT IT DOES

What indesign_list_styles does on Adobe Mcp Suite

RISK

Why indesign_list_styles is rated Low

Even though indesign_list_styles only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

indesign_list_styles Allowed

indesign_list_styles is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "indesign_list_styles": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Mcp Suite, apply this rule, and every indesign_list_styles call is checked against it from then on.
