What figma_get_file does on UnClick
AI agents call figma_get_file to retrieve information from UnClick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
depth | number | — | How deep to traverse the node tree (default: full) |
file_key | string | Yes | Alphanumeric file ID from the Figma URL |
personal_access_token | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why figma_get_file is rated Low
Even though figma_get_file only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
