Tools

139 tools in 18 families. The names, descriptions and schemas below are generated from the server itself, so they are exactly what the model receives in tools/list.

Tool	Family	What it does
figma_get_file_data	Reading	The structure of a Figma file and the document tree.
figma_get_component	Reading	Metadata of a single node or component: name, type, description, component properties, the children it holds.
figma_get_variables	Reading	Figma variables (design tokens): colors, spacing, typography, multi-mode ones (Light/Dark) included.
figma_get_file_meta	Reading	Name, last-modified time, author of the last edit and editor type of a file — without downloading the document.
figma_get_styles	Reading	The styles of a file: color, text, effect and grid styles.
figma_get_component_image	Reading	Renders a node into a picture (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF).
figma_get_file_for_plugin	Reading	The structure of a file without visual properties: ids, names, types, component links and plugin data only.
figma_get_selection	Writing	What is selected in Figma right now: the ids, names, types and sizes of the nodes.
figma_move_node	Writing	Moves a node.
figma_resize_node	Writing	Resizes a node.
figma_set_fills	Writing	Sets the fills of a node.
figma_set_text	Writing	Changes the text in a TEXT node.
figma_execute	Writing	Runs arbitrary JavaScript in the Figma plugin sandbox: the whole figma object (Plugin API) is available.
figma_get_selection_colors	Writing	Every color used in the current selection, with the styles they come from — the quick token audit: select a screen, see which paints are loose values instead…
figma_sort_styles	Writing	Reorders the local styles panel: alphabetically by default, or by an explicit comma-separated id list.
figma_commit_undo	Writing	Closes the current undo group: everything changed since the previous commit becomes a single Ctrl+Z step for the human working in the same file.
figma_create_style	Writing	Creates a local style.
figma_get_status	Writing	The state of the bridge to Figma: whether the plugin is connected, which files are visible, which of them is active.
figma_clone_node	Nodes	Copies a node next to the original.
figma_delete_node	Nodes	Deletes a node together with everything inside it.
figma_rename_node	Nodes	Renames a node.

figma_set_description	Nodes	Sets the description of a component or a style — what designers see in the assets panel.
figma_set_instance_properties	Nodes	Changes the properties of a component instance: TEXT, BOOLEAN, INSTANCE_SWAP, VARIANT.
figma_create_page	Nodes	Creates a page in the document; makeCurrent switches the editor to it right away.
figma_create_node_from_svg	Nodes	Imports SVG markup as a frame with vector children — the way to bring an icon from code into Figma.
figma_place_image	Nodes	Places a raster image into the file: Figma downloads the url itself (or takes base64 bytes) and the image lands as a rectangle with an image fill, sized to t…
figma_create_node_from_jsx	Nodes	Builds a node tree from one declarative JSON spec — the bulk way to create layouts, faster than a chain of figma_create_child calls.
figma_boolean_operation	Nodes	Combines vector shapes: UNION, SUBTRACT, INTERSECT, EXCLUDE make a boolean group, FLATTEN bakes into one vector.
figma_group_nodes	Nodes	Wraps nodes into a group under the first node's parent.

figma_edit_component_property	Components	Changes the default value of a component property.
figma_delete_component_property	Components	Deletes a component property.
