What get_node does on Figmad

AI agents call get_node to retrieve information from Figmad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_node needs a policy

This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that queries existing Figma design nodes. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and does not trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve sensitive design information but cannot alter or delete it.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] specific nodes from a Figma file by their IDs' and is 'more efficient than getting the full file'—pure retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution.
