Why create_page needs a policy

The tool creates a new page in Figma, which is a reversible write operation that modifies the document structure. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), involve financial transactions (not Financial), or merely retrieve data (not Read). The medium severity reflects that misuse could clutter a design file but changes can be undone in Figma.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_page' on a Figma MCP server that enables interaction with Figma API. Sibling tools include create_arc, create_circle, create_rectangle, etc., all of which are write operations that create design elements.
