Create a FigJam shape with text inside. Useful for flowcharts, diagrams, and process maps. Supported shapes: SQUARE, ELLIPSE, ROUNDED_RECTANGLE, DIAMOND, TRIANGLE_UP, TRIANGLE_DOWN, PARALLELOGRAM_RIGHT, PARALLELOGRAM_LEFT.
AI agents use create_shape_with_text to create or update resources in Claude Talk to Figma MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude Talk to Figma MCP environment.
This tool creates (writes) new design objects in Figma, which is a reversible operation—shapes can be deleted or undone. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move financial resources. The blast radius of misuse is limited to creating unwanted shapes in a design file, which is easily remediated.
From the tool's definition Tool creates a new shape with text in Figma/FigJam. The description explicitly states 'Create a FigJam shape' and lists supported shape types, indicating it generates new design elements. This is a reversible creation operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_shape_with_text gives an agent:
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_shape_with_text:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_shape_with_text": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_shape_with_text_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_shape_with_text 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.

Create a FigJam shape with text inside. Useful for flowcharts, diagrams, and process maps. Supported shapes: SQUARE, ELLIPSE, ROUNDED_RECTANGLE, DIAMOND, TRIANGLE_UP, TRIANGLE_DOWN, PARALLELOGRAM_RIGHT, PARALLELOGRAM_LEFT. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Claude Talk to Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Claude Talk to Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_shape_with_text: 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 Claude Talk to Figma MCP. Nothing to install.
create_shape_with_text is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_shape_with_text 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 create_shape_with_text. 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.
create_shape_with_text is provided by the Claude Talk to Figma MCP server (arinspunk/claude-talk-to-figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Claude Talk to Figma MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
