Generate a proper Figma Dev Mode codegen plugin following official standards
AI agents use generate_codegen_plugin to create or update resources in Sunnyside Figma MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sunnyside Figma MCP environment.
The tool generates codegen plugin configurations or code files, which represents data creation/modification. While it produces code artifacts, it does not execute arbitrary code or commands—it generates structured plugin definitions following Figma standards. This is reversible (generated files can be deleted or regenerated).
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'generate' and description states 'Generate a proper Figma Dev Mode codegen plugin'. This creates new plugin artifacts (code/configuration files) that modify Figma's development environment.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_codegen_plugin gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sunnyside Figma MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_codegen_plugin:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate_codegen_plugin": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "generate_codegen_plugin_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}generate_codegen_plugin stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Generate a proper Figma Dev Mode codegen plugin following official standards. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sunnyside Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sunnyside Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_codegen_plugin: 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 Sunnyside Figma MCP. Nothing to install.
generate_codegen_plugin is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_codegen_plugin 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 generate_codegen_plugin. 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.
generate_codegen_plugin is provided by the Sunnyside Figma MCP server (tercumantanumut/sunnysidefigma-context-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
