switch_page · Figma MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What switch_page does on Figma MCP Server

AI agents invoke switch_page to trigger actions in Figma MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why switch_page needs a policy

The tool name 'switch_page' suggests it triggers a navigation or state change action in Figma (switching the active page), which is an external operation rather than a pure read or write. With no description available, confidence is low, but switching pages is most analogous to an Execute action (triggering an external UI state change).

From the tool's definition Tool name: switch_page; description is empty and uninformative.
