Medium Risk

export_tokens

Export all design tokens (variables and paint styles) as JSON or CSS custom properties. Ideal for bridging Figma variables into your codebase.

Part of the Figma Mcp Go MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@vkhanhqui/figma-mcp-go Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use export_tokens to create or modify resources in Figma Mcp Go. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call export_tokens repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Figma Mcp Go.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the export_tokens tool do? +

Export all design tokens (variables and paint styles) as JSON or CSS custom properties. Ideal for bridging Figma variables into your codebase.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Figma Mcp Go MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_tokens? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for export_tokens. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Figma Mcp Go MCP server.

What risk level is export_tokens? +

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

Can I rate-limit export_tokens? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_tokens rule in your Intercept 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 export_tokens completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for export_tokens. 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 export_tokens? +

export_tokens is provided by the Figma Mcp Go MCP server (@vkhanhqui/figma-mcp-go). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
