Get cached Figma file metadata and top-level frames.
AI agents call get_cached_figma_file to retrieve information from YetAnotherFigmaMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries design metadata and frame information from a local cache. It performs no mutations, deletions, or side effects—it only surfaces existing data to the agent. The cached nature further reduces risk as it does not trigger external API calls or state changes. Severity is low because exposure of design metadata poses minimal security risk in typical workflows.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cached_figma_file' and description 'Get cached Figma file metadata and top-level frames' indicate retrieval of data without modification. The verb 'Get' and context of 'cached' data retrieval confirm read-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get cached Figma file metadata and top-level frames. It is categorised as a Read tool in the YetAnotherFigmaMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the YetAnotherFigma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cached_figma_file: 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 YetAnotherFigmaMCP. Nothing to install.
get_cached_figma_file 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 get_cached_figma_file 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 get_cached_figma_file. 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.
get_cached_figma_file is provided by the YetAnotherFigma MCP server (yk-lab/yet-another-figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
