clone_multiple_nodes · Figma Copilot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What clone_multiple_nodes does on Figma Copilot

AI agents use clone_multiple_nodes to create or update resources in Figma Copilot — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Figma Copilot environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why clone_multiple_nodes needs a policy

An AI agent can call clone_multiple_nodes faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Figma Copilot by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Verdict

clone_multiple_nodes Rate-limited

clone_multiple_nodes 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.

FAQ

Questions about clone_multiple_nodes

What does the clone_multiple_nodes tool do? +

Clone a node to multiple positions in one operation. Significantly faster than multiple individual clone operations. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Figma Copilot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on clone_multiple_nodes? +

Register the Figma Copilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clone_multiple_nodes: 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 Copilot. Nothing to install.

What risk level is clone_multiple_nodes? +

clone_multiple_nodes is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit clone_multiple_nodes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clone_multiple_nodes 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.

How do I block clone_multiple_nodes completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clone_multiple_nodes. 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.

What MCP server provides clone_multiple_nodes? +

clone_multiple_nodes is provided by the Figma Copilot MCP server (xlzuvekas/figma-copilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
