Why create_section needs a policy

Creating a FigJam section adds new content to a design canvas but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or cause financial impact. This is a straightforward content creation operation, classified as Write. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to organizational structure changes in a design document with no destructive or systemic consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Create[s] a FigJam section' which is explicitly a create operation that modifies the design canvas by adding a new organizational element. The action is reversible (sections can be deleted or modified afterward).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_section gives an agent:

How to control create_section

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Talk to Figma MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_section:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_section": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_section_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_section 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.
