Export images/assets from Figma designs
AI agents call export_asset to retrieve information from Figma MCP Proxy Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Exporting assets reads/retrieves data from Figma designs and produces output files, but does not modify or delete any source data. The severity is medium because exported assets could include proprietary design IP, and bulk exports could expose sensitive design information, but there is no destructive or write side-effect on the Figma platform itself.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Export images/assets from Figma designs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Figma MCP Proxy Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Figma MCP Proxy Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_asset: 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 Figma MCP Proxy Server. Nothing to install.
export_asset 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 export_asset 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 export_asset. 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.
export_asset is provided by the Figma MCP Proxy Server MCP server (vbrail/proxy_mcp_figma). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
