THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_styles needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves style information from a Figma document. It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent calling this tool can only view existing design styles, with no risk of data loss or unintended modifications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_styles' and description 'Get all styles from the current Figma document' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_styles

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Figma AI Bridge, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_styles:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_styles": {}
  }
}

get_styles is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Figma AI Bridge — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Get all styles from the current Figma document. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma AI Bridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_styles? +

Register the Figma AI Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_styles: 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 AI Bridge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_styles? +

get_styles is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_styles? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_styles 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.

How do I block get_styles completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_styles. 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.

What MCP server provides get_styles? +

get_styles is provided by the Figma AI Bridge MCP server (renfei-design/figma_ai_bridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Figma AI Bridge tool call.

Start from Figma AI Bridge, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
