get_widget
AI agents call get_widget to retrieve information from Figma MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_widget' tool, based on its name and context among creation/analysis tools, most likely retrieves widget properties or metadata without modification. The absence of side-effect indicators (no 'create', 'delete', 'modify' language) and the presence of parallel analysis tools suggest this is a retrieval operation. Confidence is moderate due to empty description, but the semantic field is clear.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_widget' implies data retrieval. No description provided, but consistent with sibling tool 'analyze_widget_structure' which suggests read-only inspection of Figma design elements.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_widget. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Figma MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_widget: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_widget 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_widget 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_widget. 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_widget is provided by the Figma MCP Server MCP server (sichang824/mcp-figma). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
