Get all local components from the Figma document
AI agents call get_local_components to retrieve information from 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 queries and retrieves component metadata from a Figma document without altering any data. It is a read-only operation with minimal security impact—the worst case being unauthorized information disclosure of design components already accessible within the document context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_local_components' and description 'Get all local components from the Figma document' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
