Get a rendered image/screenshot of a Figma node. Returns image URLs in various formats.
AI agents call getImage to retrieve information from Figma MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
getImage retrieves and returns rendered images/screenshots from Figma design nodes. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and does not trigger external operations or financial transactions. This is a straightforward read operation that queries the Figma API for visual assets.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a rendered image/screenshot of a Figma node. Returns image URLs in various formats.' This is a retrieval operation that extracts visual data without modifying, deleting, or executing external code.

Get a rendered image/screenshot of a Figma node. Returns image URLs in various formats. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Figma MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getImage: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getImage 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 getImage 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 getImage. 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.
getImage is provided by the Figma MCP Server MCP server (minhaztopaz/figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
