Get detailed information about the current selection in Figma, including all node details. 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 read_my_design: 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.
read_my_design 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 read_my_design 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 read_my_design. 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.
read_my_design 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.
