Get component information from a Figma file
AI agents call get-components 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 retrieves and queries component metadata from Figma files without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It is a standard read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be unauthorized access to design information already accessible through normal Figma permissions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-components' and description 'Get component information from a Figma file' indicate a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get component information 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 get-components: 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.
get-components 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 get-components 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 get-components. 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.
get-components 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.
