AI agents use create_frame to create or update resources in Figmad — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Figmad environment.
This tool creates new design elements (frames) in Figma, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the design file by adding content but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or commit financial transactions. The 'medium' severity reflects that misuse could clutter or damage a design file, but the effect is reversible through standard undo/deletion operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_frame' and description states 'Create a new frame in Figma. Frames are the primary container for designs.' The verb 'Create' indicates data creation/modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create a new frame in Figma. Frames are the primary container for designs. Requires the Figma plugin to be connected. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Figmad MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Figmad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_frame: 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 Figmad. Nothing to install.
create_frame 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 create_frame 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 create_frame. 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.
create_frame is provided by the Figmad MCP server (toro1221/figmad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
create_frame is one line of Figmad's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
