execute_batch · Figma Copilot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What execute_batch does on Figma Copilot

AI agents invoke execute_batch to trigger actions in Figma Copilot. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why execute_batch needs a policy

execute_batch triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Verdict

execute_batch Rate-limited

execute_batch stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about execute_batch

What does the execute_batch tool do? +

Execute multiple commands in sequence with a single round-trip. Ideal for complex operations that require multiple steps. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Figma Copilot MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on execute_batch? +

Register the Figma Copilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for execute_batch: 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 execute_batch? +

execute_batch is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit execute_batch? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the execute_batch 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 execute_batch completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for execute_batch. 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 execute_batch? +

execute_batch 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.
