Why get_remote_components needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about components from Figma team libraries without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal blast radius—the worst outcome is retrieval of design library information that is already intended to be shared within the team.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_remote_components' and description 'Get available components from team libraries in Figma' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification capability.

POLICY

How to control get_remote_components

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 get_remote_components:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_remote_components": {}
  }
}

get_remote_components is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Claude Talk to Figma MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
