Extract all text elements from a Figma file
AI agents call extract-text 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.
This tool queries and retrieves text content from a Figma design file. It performs a read-only operation that extracts design data without side effects, reversible modifications, code execution, or destructive actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent could extract text it shouldn't access, but this is a confidentiality concern only, not an integrity or availability risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'extract-text' and description states it 'Extract[s] all text elements from a Figma file' — this is a data retrieval operation with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Extract all text elements from a Figma file. 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 extract-text: 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.
extract-text 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 extract-text 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 extract-text. 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.
extract-text is provided by the Figma MCP Server MCP server (mohammeduvaiz/figma-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
