AI agents call get_all_layers to retrieve information from PS-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves layer data from an open Photoshop document without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no side effects, fitting squarely in the Read category. The low severity reflects that accessing layer metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_all_layers' and the description indicate retrieval of layer information from a Photoshop document with no arguments for modification.

Register the PS- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_all_layers: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches PS-MCP. Nothing to install.
get_all_layers is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_all_layers rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_all_layers. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
