THE RISK

Low Risk

Why inspect_component_structure needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries structural information from Figma components without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The function is limited to inspecting and returning component hierarchy and metadata, making it a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a quick overview of component structure, children, and nested components' — purely retrieval and inspection operations with no modification or execution capabilities.

POLICY

How to control inspect_component_structure

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "inspect_component_structure": {}
  }
}

inspect_component_structure is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Figma to Flutter MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about inspect_component_structure

What does the inspect_component_structure tool do? +

Get a quick overview of component structure, children, and nested components. Use inspect_screen_structure for full screens. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma to Flutter MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on inspect_component_structure? +

Register the Figma to Flutter MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect_component_structure: 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 Figma to Flutter MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is inspect_component_structure? +

What MCP server provides inspect_component_structure? +

inspect_component_structure is provided by the Figma to Flutter MCP Server MCP server (mhmzdev/figma-flutter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Figma to Flutter MCP Server tool call.

Start from Figma to Flutter MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
