When the nodeId cannot be obtained, obtain the layout information about the entire Figma file
AI agents call get_figma_data to retrieve information from Sunnyside Figma MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs pure data retrieval—querying file structure and layout metadata from Figma. There are no side effects, no code execution, no financial implications, and no data modification or deletion. The worst-case misuse would be unauthorized information disclosure about design structure, which has limited blast radius. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves layout information from a Figma file without modifying or deleting data. The description uses 'obtain' which indicates data retrieval only. Context shows design system queries and extractions are the primary use case.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_figma_data 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 get_figma_data:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_figma_data": {}
}
}get_figma_data is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

When the nodeId cannot be obtained, obtain the layout information about the entire Figma file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sunnyside Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sunnyside Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_figma_data: 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.
get_figma_data 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_figma_data 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_figma_data. 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_figma_data 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.
