search_text
AI agents call search_text 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.
Search operations are non-destructive information retrieval with no side effects on the underlying design data. Even if it locates text within Figma documents, the action itself does not create, modify, or delete any content. The main risk is information disclosure of design contents, which is lower severity than operational risks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_text' indicates a query/search operation without modification capabilities. The description is empty, but the name and context (Figma design tool) suggest this retrieves or filters text content within design files.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
search_text. 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 search_text: 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.
search_text 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 search_text 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 search_text. 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.
search_text 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.
