Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_figma_design_context safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_figma_design_context, this is the rule to start with:
get_figma_design_context is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nodebench, apply this rule, and every get_figma_design_context call is checked against it from then on.

Use this to understand what a component SHOULD look like according to the design system. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_figma_design_context: 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 Nodebench. Nothing to install.
get_figma_design_context 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_figma_design_context 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_figma_design_context. 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_figma_design_context is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
