THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why set_text_case needs a policy

This tool modifies design content by changing text formatting properties, which qualifies as a Write operation. It is reversible (the original case can be restored), so it does not rise to Destructive. Severity is medium because unintended bulk application could degrade design quality or require manual correction, but the blast radius is limited to text case formatting within Figma documents.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_text_case' and description 'Set the text case of a text node in Figma' indicate modification of text properties within a design document. This is a reversible operation that changes node attributes.

POLICY

How to control set_text_case

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 set_text_case:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_text_case": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_text_case_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

set_text_case 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.

FAQ

Questions about set_text_case

What does the set_text_case tool do? +

Set the text case of a text node in Figma. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on set_text_case? +

Register the Claude Talk to Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_text_case: 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.

What risk level is set_text_case? +

set_text_case is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_text_case? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_text_case 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.

How do I block set_text_case completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_text_case. 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.

What MCP server provides set_text_case? +

set_text_case 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.
