RECOMMENDED RULE

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

indesign_save_document Rate-limited

indesign_save_document stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
