The 2026 development

Adobe previewed integrations letting third-party agents act inside Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects.

The governance gap

Creative project files are valuable and often irreplaceable. An agent that can edit them needs scoped file access, reversible operations and a clear distinction between a preview and a save over the original.

Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 2 — Security-Context Continuity

Core question: Does authority survive every boundary? Identity, scope and delegation are carried across tools, agents, memories and systems.

Treat the creative application as a tool with typed operations: read, preview, write-as-copy and overwrite. Only the last requires an explicit, separate grant and a backup.

How the wiring works

  1. Grant read and preview before write.
  2. Require a distinct grant for overwrite or destructive edits.
  3. Write to a new artifact by default and keep the original digest.
  4. Record the operation and the resulting file hash.

What is real today

LIVE A public route in this deployment exercises this mechanism today, within its stated scope.

The MCP boundary and sandbox are real. There is no Adobe integration and no claim of one.
