Why create_sticky needs a policy

This tool writes/creates new data (a sticky note) in FigJam, making it a Write action. The severity is low because sticky notes are discrete, non-destructive additions to a collaborative whiteboard that can be easily deleted or edited by any user. There is no financial impact, no code execution, and no data destruction.

From the tool's definition create_sticky creates a sticky note in a FigJam board, which adds text content without irreversible deletion or modification of existing design assets. The action is reversible and creates new, isolated content.

How to control create_sticky

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_sticky:

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

create_sticky 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.
