THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why figma_set_fills needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data (fill color properties) without deleting or executing arbitrary code. It is reversible—colors can be changed again or undone. The blast radius is medium: an agent could alter visual appearance of designs, potentially causing workflow disruption or loss of design intent, but the change is not destructive and can be easily reverted.

From the tool's definition "Set fill color" indicates modification of Figma document properties. The tool accepts parameters to change visual styling (hex colors or fills array), which modifies document state reversibly.

POLICY

How to control figma_set_fills

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Figma MCP Bridge, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for figma_set_fills:

policy.json

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

figma_set_fills 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
