Vector operations for creating and manipulating vector shapes using sparse format or VectorNetwork.
AI agents use figma_vectors to create or update resources in Figma Mcp Write — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Figma Mcp Write environment.
This tool creates and modifies vector shapes in Figma designs, which are reversible operations. It falls under the Write category rather than Execute because it operates on a specific data model (vector shapes) rather than executing arbitrary code. Severity is medium because a misused tool could corrupt or unwantedly modify designs, but changes can be undone in Figma's version history.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'creating and manipulating vector shapes' - these are reversible modifications to design elements. Server description confirms 'write access to Figma' enabling 'create, modify, and manage Figma designs programmatically.'
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access figma_vectors gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Figma Mcp Write, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for figma_vectors:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"figma_vectors": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "figma_vectors_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}figma_vectors 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.

Vector operations for creating and manipulating vector shapes using sparse format or VectorNetwork. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Figma Mcp Write MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Figma Mcp Write MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for figma_vectors: 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 Write. Nothing to install.
figma_vectors is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the figma_vectors 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 figma_vectors. 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.
figma_vectors is provided by the Figma Mcp Write MCP server (oo/figma-mcp-write-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Figma Mcp Write, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
