Get all annotations in the current document or specific node
AI agents call get_annotations to retrieve information from Cursor Talk to Figma MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries annotation data from a Figma document with no side effects. It falls squarely into the Read category: it fetches existing information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. Low severity because reading design annotations poses minimal risk to document integrity or security.
From the tool's definition get_annotations retrieves annotations without modifying or deleting data; tool name and description indicate read-only query operation ("Get all annotations")
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all annotations in the current document or specific node. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_annotations: 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 Cursor Talk to Figma MCP. Nothing to install.
get_annotations 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_annotations 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_annotations. 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_annotations is provided by the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP server (paragdesai1/parag-figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
