Get all local styles in the document (paint, text, effect, and grid). Returns each style's ID, name, type, and properties. Use the style ID with apply_style_to_node or update_paint_style. For design tokens (variables), use get_variable_defs instead.
Part of the Figma Mcp Go MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_styles to retrieve information from Figma Mcp Go without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_styles only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get all local styles in the document (paint, text, effect, and grid). Returns each style's ID, name, type, and properties. Use the style ID with apply_style_to_node or update_paint_style. For design tokens (variables), use get_variable_defs instead.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma Mcp Go MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_styles. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Figma Mcp Go MCP server.
get_styles is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_styles 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_styles. 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.
get_styles 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.
